A competition yellow is usually called about 25 laps into a Nascar race so the teams can check tire wear. This is done after overnight or early morning rain washes off all of the rubber on the track before a race starts. There have also been competition yellows used in the past after tracks were newly paved. It takes away the unknown, regarding dangerous tire issues.
