Now if we can only get rid of the Chase and the segmented races and get back to the winner of the race gets the most points, most points at the end of the year wins the championship. All this stage racing and resetting points is dumb.

Coming from a technology background, just because they are from the same vendors doesn't mean they are getting the same stuff. In the computer world, binning is a very big thing. There are ways of determining what is going to be better and what is going to be inferior. It will most certainly be a case of behind the scenes back scratching going on to make sure the top teams with the top money will still be getting the better "same" parts than the small teams.

It's going to be on NASCAR to monitor that. The Xfinity series has been doing it (as mentioned in this video) with the bodies, so there is a process in place. I suspect NASCAR will implement something along the line of a blind issue. The manufacturer send the parts to NASCAR and they, in turn, distribute the parts blindly. So, no race team, vendor, or even NASCAR will know what part may be better than the others. It's going to take time to figure of the new protocols out, but it'll get done.

I wonder if a lot of that was just because of the camber requirement for different levels of banking at different tracks on a car without much adjustment (solid axle cars have pre bent tubes). Now with way more suspension adjustment, is that really needed? just realign, change spring and bar rates, ride heights, etc for different tracks.

WOW!!! I had no IDEA how many cars a team ran!!! That is INSANE. How was that even sustainable??? I'm missing a piece of the puzzle. 🤔 There is a change going on behind the scenes but it doesn't seem like it's about money. Money is a FACTOR but there is something more. TJ the less experienced drivers NEED PRACTICE. That is why I want it. It doesn't have to be 2 days of practice like it used to be. It can be one session of practice and the qualifier. Nevertheless, the younger drivers need to get EXPERIENCE at the various tracks. If drivers like Logano Harvick and Hanlin want to skip practice, by all means have at it. But I think the less experienced drivers need practice. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I think that "Those Unknowns" are the main reason why they changed the Xfinity Series Cars up closer to the "Next Gen" style Cars for "this season" ahead of Cup's Next Gen entry. It was by design. It gives the "Cup" Series Teams a "little" insight as to the "Legal Changes" or "Legal Modifications" they will be able make to help make them more competitive from one Track to Another from Day One, and still pass inspection before a race. Although I think we'll still see a lot of failures in the inspection arena in the first few events, like they had, with the last big change a couple years ago. Remembering, as an example, the Chevy's struggles they had to overcome in the beginning of that year. Even though there are major differences between the two, the Aero portion of the Cars are the "Meat and Potatoes" of the Changes and Xfinity did it this year. They can't expect to be able to take their 2022 Next Gen Cars to every different track in the Off-Season to build a notebook, so instead they used the Xfinity Cars as a "Lab Rat" for this very purpose. I seem to remember hearing that they're only allowed "So Much" testing time abilities on different tracks by "The Rules" anyway if I'm not mistaken. Unfortunately though, not all the Teams race in both Series, so the one's that don't will be at a big disadvantage. I imagine that if they just "Plunked" them down in Daytona for their "Cup" debut for the first time without testing out the Xfinity Cars it would make for a Catastrophic or Boring start to the 2022 season...depending on what they know about the Characteristics of the new cars. I look at it as positive though as being the Costs are lower, we should see a few more Teams popping up to make the racing more interesting....I guess we'll see...

The analogy for side profile was good; but really it's much simpler. "Air" isn't "empty space" there's a "buffering" aspect. That car is a kite; and when you go from a straight line at 155mph and turn left, as the car is sliding into the turn the space between the wall and the car is getting smaller and smaller. The air has to go somewhere; the car is "squishing" that air space, and that air wants to push back. So it helps keep the car on the race line. It's gonna take these drivers a while to get used to the difference in how these cars slide, without that buffer between themselves and the wall. It's also gonna play hell on tire wear, because they'll probably lean on that back right a lot more trying to make up for it.

The overall concept of having one manufacturer (Dallara) build all the components is FINE. I'm okay with that for parity sake. The problem I have is the design of the vehicle. Get the idea of "showroom street car STOCK" out of your head. A NASCAR 'Stock Car' has been a tube frame chassis based mostly on MECHANICAL GRIP since 1983. Only the hood roof and trunk had to conform to manufacturer dimensions on the Gen 3/4 cars (until the 2002 common template rule...) Yes aero has become more important, but mechanical grip has always been key to a winning car in NASCAR. With Gen 7, we add a flat floor, rear diffuser, even more aero sculpting to the bodies and then they sell you a fake bill of sale on the idea that these are closer to "Stock cars" no they are not. they're still completely bespoke race cars sharing absolutely nothing with your street car. They just aren't STOCK CARS anymore. They're GT race cars on ovals. Now we will have a ton of aero, tons of drag, even less focus on mechanical grip (especially with that low profile tire that is stiffer than hell) and here's the part that KILLS me. These cars are going to have less horsepower than a showroom stock Shelby GT 500 at your local Ford dealership... The Shelby has 670hp. The car you can buy for like $55,000 and drive to dinner in. How is this supposed to feel special in any way or actually create better racing? I'm telling you now, NASCAR is making a mistake with this car.

I really dislike the single lug wheels... The fact these guys changed 5 lugs in such a fast time was something to brag about! On top of that how many stock cars have a single lug? I'm sure we'll be sticking with all the cheesy race and championship setups too right? The segments and that goody "playoff" basketball model somehow jammed into racing mess?

Now how do we get them back to actual stock cars? A Supra vs Camaro vs Mustang would sell tickets like hot-cakes and would be quite the spectacle. I mean you'd obviously put in all of the safety gear into the cars, so that doesn't go away. It would also keep the job security at the teams and engine builders. The comparing speedway cars to short-course cars could have been enforced without going to a spec chassis. You get to homologate one chassis for your race season. Problem solved. You could do the same for the body shape for the scan check. Meanwhile NASCAR was stupid and wouldn't let flat bottom's for the front of the cars. This lead to everyone using headers, oil pans, bellhousings and boom tubes as changing aero devices depending on the track. I used to design these parts, I know the dumb money wasted by teams for their spec, handmade inconel headers for specific chassis and tracks.

Nascar keeps yanking out its roots trying to graft other stuff to them. They are a lot like when in 1985 Woke a Cola changed their receipt to new Coke, they tried to change into something it wasn't. That's the same thing Nascar has been doing for the last 20 years. Go back to what was working 20 years ago when Nascar was rivaling football as the most-watched sport in America.

Won't happen. NASCAR doesn't have the names it did back then, and if we really want to talk about when NASCAR was NASCAR, we'd call it the Winston Cup again, and boom here are many of the names and personalities that made it great. You don't have an Earnheart racing regularly anymore. No Stewarts, No nothing. You have the Bush Bro's, but that's not the same. No Martins. No Waltrips. The sport itself let itself get stale with the product, and it got tons worse when the COT arrived to where the drivers themselves hated it. I've only done limited reading into this one, and the drivers once again aren't thrilled. NASCAR has no choice but to change. I'm not saying it's for the better or for the worse, but when you're loosing money hand over foot because most of your big names are gone, and some past favorites are not remotely involved in the sport, your 'base' is getting older, and less interested in it because their heroes are gone, sponsorship money is long gone(note it's not the Monster Cup anymore, it's a hybrid now), what are you going to do? I agree that they could go back to the traditional 'you win the most during the season, you win the whole thing'. I genuinely like that except, now you have four owners supplying almost all of the other teams their gear and support. Wasn't like that 20yrs ago. So basically the man who wins will come from one of the big four, and will get extremely predictable(much like an Earnheart WILL win ALL superspeedways in the late 90's through early 2000's). It'll get quite stale to see Kyle, Hamlin, Harvick, Truex, Elliot, and a few other names alternate championships. It'll get quite old real fast. NASCAR has absolutely no choice but to try new(and in some cases dumb things like moving from carbs to FI) to get people in seats, people watching races, and sponsors willing to foot some expensive bills in an unstable economy, when their bottom lines are shrinking also.

Unfortunately all these changes will not really save money for the teams. Initially yes, as teams are already laying folks off due to the less needed to "build" a car, but they will add staff slowly back as they spend on R&D to find that edge. Have been doing that forever, because the big teams will spend as much as they need to make sure they are competitive and have an advantage. Racing never gets cheaper, it may slow down how fast money is spent and I guess you could call that a savings, short term so to speak. The big teams will still be fast and the smaller teams will still fill the field. Sadly NASCAR will be the ones that make the money as they "arrange" the chassis builder, body company, gearbox etc. If you dont think NASCAR is getting a kickback on this stuff, man you gotta be kidding. That's the way they have done business for the last 40 years.

They all have all the same Ilmor 396” engines like the truck. No hauler, no engineers, no shops. U put your Sponsors decals on and race. At the end of the race you take your drivers seat out get out a hair dryer and remove the sponsor decals go home and wait until next week.
