Green-white-checkered flag rule changes; Danica Patrick’s practice smooth; Jimmie Johnson in wreck

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — UNDER REVIEW: NASCAR officials are considering a change to their policy on making only one attempt at a so-called "green-white-checkered" finish to races that would otherwise finish under caution.
