NASCAR officials announced Saturday that they have lowered the minimum age for drivers competing in their five regional touring divisions from 16 years old to 15 years old.
The change takes effect immediately for the K&N Pro Series East and West divisions, the Whelen Modified Tour and Whelen Southern Modified Tour and the Canadian Tire Series.
"We are constantly evaluating the process in which drivers are introduced to the sport and make their way up the NASCAR ladder," George Silbermann, NASCAR managing director of racing operations, said in a release. "This change is the next logical step as the influx of talented young drivers entering NASCAR grows."
