What is rookie stripe nascar?

Rookie Stripe in NASCAR refers to a visual identifier placed on the back bumper of a car driven by a rookie driver. The stripe is typically yellow and indicates that the driver is inexperienced at the highest level of NASCAR competition. Rookie stripes help fans and other drivers quickly identify inexperienced drivers and anticipate their moves on the track.

In addition to the yellow stripe, NASCAR rookie drivers are also required to attend a mandatory pre-season orientation program and participate in a certain number of Cup Series events before losing their rookie status.

Some notable NASCAR drivers who have earned their rookie stripes in recent years include William Byron, Cole Custer, Tyler Reddick, and Chase Briscoe.
