Heaving to is a technique for stopping the boat almost completely with the sails still up. The boat maintains a steady position relative to wind and waves, in contrast to “lying ahull,” in which sails are dropped and the boat is allowed to drift any which way, usually leading to an uncomfortable and perhaps dangerous boat position.

During the 2003 season, to increase safety for the drivers, NASCAR banned racing back to the yellow flag after the caution is displayed.

What the Lucky Dog Rule Is NASCAR’s lucky dog rule states that the first driver one lap down automatically gets his lap back when the caution flag comes out....

It’s the inside-out change from facing core fears and transforming wounds into greatest strengths....
