title="Auto racing">auto racing</a>, particularly in <a href="/wiki/NASCAR" title="NASCAR">NASCAR</a>-sanctioned races, to describe the practice of racing teams starting races but pulling the car off the track after just a few laps in order to collect prize money while avoiding expenses such as replacement tires, engine wear and tear, and hiring a pit crew.<sup id="cite_ref-SI20090611_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SI20090611-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The practice has existed due to the relatively high purse for even a back-of-the-pack finish, as well as the high costs of fielding a car for an entire race. While start-and-park entries occasionally act as "field fillers" (a term typically used outside of NASCAR when a small number of teams show up to a racetrack), the practice is criticized in instances when they take spots away from teams intending to run the full race.<sup id="cite_ref-CarandDriver-QuitingGame_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CarandDriver-QuitingGame-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In some cases, a team will use a start-and-park car to help fund another competitive car in the same or a different series. This practice is prevalent in NASCAR's second-tier <a href="/wiki/Xfinity_Series" class="mw-redirect" title="Xfinity Series">Xfinity Series</a>, notably by <a href="/wiki/The_Motorsports_Group" title="The Motorsports Group">The Motorsports Group</a>, <a href="/wiki/RSS_Racing" title="RSS Racing">RSS Racing</a> (only number 38 or 93 to help fund the no. 39 team) and <a href="/wiki/TriStar_Motorsports" title="TriStar Motorsports">TriStar Motorsports</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-CarandDriver-QuitingGame_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CarandDriver-QuitingGame-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Motorsport-TMG-2015CUP_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Motorsport-TMG-2015CUP-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Kentucky-JGreen-SnP-TriStar_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kentucky-JGreen-SnP-TriStar-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, there are some cases in which a small underfunded team does use this money to eventually run full races, or conserve the car. Teams like <a href="/wiki/NEMCO_Motorsports" title="NEMCO Motorsports">NEMCO Motorsports</a>, <a href="/wiki/Leavine_Family_Racing" title="Leavine Family Racing">Leavine Family Racing</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Phil_Parsons_Racing" title="Phil Parsons Racing">Phil Parsons Racing</a> have done this in the past, before transitioning to running full races.<sup id="cite_ref-NASCAR-Cavana-SnP_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NASCAR-Cavana-SnP-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Other reasons possible are for better funded teams to have a used engine available, especially with a NASCAR rule imposed that requires teams to run a previously raced engine in multiple races. Such start and park teams may have a deal with a works-level team for engines. When the engine is used for a few laps in testing mode, the car can be parked after a few laps and the engine be used in another race by another team. (The rule states if a team won a race, the engine must be reused by the same team.) Likewise, the smaller team can use the engine from the works team's non-winning race engine and use it in their operation for the works team while the works team uses the previously used team by the smaller team in a future race. </p><p>A visible increase in the presence of starting and parking in the 21st century made it one of the more polarizing and controversial topics in the sport.<sup id="cite_ref-CarandDriver-QuitingGame_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CarandDriver-QuitingGame-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-NASCAR-Cavana-SnP_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NASCAR-Cavana-SnP-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2013 and 2014, changes in the structuring of prize money awards and qualifying procedures made starting and parking less attractive, encouraging (or forcing) low-budget teams to run full races.<sup id="cite_ref-NASCAR-Cavana-SnP_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NASCAR-Cavana-SnP-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ESPN-Nationwide-40Cars_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ESPN-Nationwide-40Cars-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Autoweek-SnP-2013_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Autoweek-SnP-2013-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Further reductions in field size and the structuring of qualifying and structure of prize money later in the decade have curbed the practice considerably, particularly at the Cup level. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Description">Description</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Start_and_park&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Description"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:TerryCookChevroletMilwaukeeMile2009.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/TerryCookChevroletMilwaukeeMile2009.jpg/220px-TerryCookChevroletMilwaukeeMile2009.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="145" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/TerryCookChevroletMilwaukeeMile2009.jpg/330px-TerryCookChevroletMilwaukeeMile2009.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/TerryCookChevroletMilwaukeeMile2009.jpg/440px-TerryCookChevroletMilwaukeeMile2009.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1440" data-file-height="951" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Terry_Cook_(racing_driver)" title="Terry Cook (racing driver)">Terry Cook</a>'s 91 <a href="/wiki/Phil_Parsons_Racing" title="Phil Parsons Racing">MSRP</a> Chevy in 2009.</figcaption></figure> <p>A start and park occurs when a race team pulls out of an event early on, rather than completing the full race, and will be credited with a did not finish (DNF). The practice is the result of the high costs of running full-length races including hiring a pit crew, as well as the high payout from simply starting a race. For example, at a June 2009 Cup Series race, <a href="/wiki/Joe_Nemechek" title="Joe Nemechek">Joe Nemechek</a> earned $64,725 after finishing 41st in a start and park effort, while <a href="/wiki/Dexter_Bean" title="Dexter Bean">Dexter Bean</a> ran the entire race to a 36th-place finish and earned only $725 more ($65,450).<sup id="cite_ref-SI20090611_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SI20090611-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> New teams may start and park to gain funds, experience, and information to run future races competitively.

For example, since 2011, 2000 <a href="/wiki/Busch_Series" class="mw-redirect" title="Busch Series">Busch Series</a> Champion <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Green_(racing_driver)" title="Jeff Green (racing driver)">Jeff Green</a> has start and parked in most of his starts for <a href="/wiki/TriStar_Motorsports" title="TriStar Motorsports">TriStar Motorsports</a>, while the team's other cars (which often have some sponsorship) have run the full race. Green's entry, according to owner Mark Smith, acts as somewhat of an R&D car, and allows the team to field multiple full-time entries.

At the same time, the race field was reduced from 43 to 40. As teams must have competed in the Cup Series full-time for the past three consecutive seasons (beginning from the establishment of the system in 2016; charters are otherwise transferrable between teams) in order to have acquired a charter, teams can be forced, at NASCAR's discretion (for instance, in 2023, although <a href="/wiki/Rick_Ware_Racing" title="Rick Ware Racing">Rick Ware Racing</a>'s No. 51 met the criteria, the team was not stripped of the charter),<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> to sell their charters if they finish in the bottom three of the owners' standings for three seasons in a row, and only up to four positions are available to non-chartered teams, this system primarily rewards established teams that have committed to participate across the entire season. These changes, as well as a reduced fixed purse for non-chartered teams, effectively reduces the viability of start and park strategies, but has also reduced the ability of new teams with sponsors to develop. Unsponsored teams stay out much longer than previously. However, they still park if they cannot afford to run the full race.<sup id="cite_ref-sbnation-charter_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sbnation-charter-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-charter_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-charter-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-espn-39cars_28-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-espn-39cars-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Whereas at the Cup level starting and parking has been practically abolished, in the Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series this operation continued to exist with multiple teams.
