Please - if you are going to give information - get your facts right.
NASCAR close the pits at the start of caution periods on the grounds of SAFETY - the ONLY cars permitted to enter pit lane in the first few laps of a caution period are safety vehicles (they don't then have to worry about pitting cars - which means they can get out to the scene as quickly as possible) and cars with mechanical damage that would cause other problems if they remained on the track.
