Article 41 of the rule books outlines how the VSC procedure will work - and makes it clear that it will normally be implemented when "double waved yellow flags are needed on any section of track and competitors or officials nascar may be in danger, but the circumstances are not such as to warrant use of the safety car itself."
When race control is happy that it is safe to resume racing, nascar teams will be informed on the official message system that the VSC period is ending and then "at any time between 10 and 15 seconds later, nascar 'VSC' on the FIA light panels will change to green and drivers may continue racing immediately. After 30 seconds the green lights will be extinguished."
