There is 0 you can learn from watching these practices. Maybe you can see they are a bit slower, sound different and only have 1 lug per wheel. They aren’t racing. They are testing. Not much can be learned by watching.

[@unicornvenom2353]

NASCAR, we’re excited to see these cars don’t get me wrong. But nobody is excited for what we’re seeing right now. Which is basically the same thing we were trying to get away from with the Gen-6 car. It’s basically follow the leader and nobody passes anyone unless a mistake is made. Number moved up front are frowned upon by a great number of people, the lug nuts are the stupidest thing ever, you’re getting rid of any tradition that Daytona had that it wouldn’t surprise me if you ended up holding the duels somewhere else. Just for the love of god for once listen to what the drivers and the fans want. Cause it sounds like some of them are in the same boat as well

With the impending economic collapse and nascar fading in popularity there’s going to be plenty of room for sponsors. NASCAR shrunk by well over 50% after 2008. Back then 1 sponsor would sponsor the team all year. Now they have sponsors for like six races, so it takes multiple to run a season.

[@94nolo]

@@STP43FAN1 it's about skill gaps, not passing. Guys wouldn't even hit the apron at Phoenix because they were afraid the skirt damage would make passing impossible because passing was more about aero than driver skill. I think those drivers know more than you, but maybe I'm wrong.

[@outlaw20jg]

50 more hp you would still see exactly what you see now just a tad faster. 1in or 2 off spoiler with a tire that has fall off you would see more out of it. Also Nascar can't allow these guys to seal the cars off to the ground we need air under the car.

[@nicholaspenson1870]

Considering these cars ran $900 horsepower less than 5 years ago this is an absolute disgrace to even be talking about 600 horsepower. That is entry level for what Nascar is really made of SMH this s*** has become a joke and there's nothing about what people paid for

This package sucks. Let them try the short track package. Whats the worse that can happen?

[@tuck1726]

If they want 1.5 mile tracks to be wide open pack races, so be it. 1.5 mile tracks suck regardless. However, they need to run just 4 of them a year like the super speedways. We could have 4 Super Speedway Races(Daytona, Talledega), 4 1.5 mile races(Homestead,Atlanta, Vegas, Kentucky), 4 1 mile races(Milwaukee, Dover, New Hampshire), 4 road races(COTA, glen, Sonoma, Roval), 7 misc races(gateway, Nashville SS, pocono, Indy, rockingham, Iowa) 3-4 dirt(Knoxville, Bristol, eldora) and 10 short track races(Bristol, Martinsville, Nashville fairgrounds, Richmond, Phoenix, new Autoclub, North Wilksboro)

[@tuck1726]

Package does suck but if they have 20+ 1.5-2 mile tracks on schedule NASCAR will continue to die. They could make cars affordable for privateers like latemodel racing, and they would have 200 cars showing up for a $500,000 purse. Also, they could tailor the rules package(especially for short tracks) to where you don’t have to pay a team of engineers to set it up. That would be real stock car racing. This is just corporate billboards running around the track.

I don't think anyone wants to see momentum racing at all the ovals also it will get expensive as they will have big wrecks like Daytona and Talladega every other week.

[@jeffbryant2052]

NASCAR I hope you’re looking at these comments! These cars need more terminal velocity at the end of the straightaway so they have to be driven. Please give them more power or less spoiler (both would be nice). If you want the drivers to help sell this for you and to be excited about this new car, this is not the formula.

Them numbers up there on the front don't look good makes them harder to see and makes the car look strange

[@Nindorious1]

The future of automotive vechiles is becoming clearer and clearer everyday that passes.

Wow a thrill a minute ...not

[@MrCrazyNASCAR]

Pack racing please

[@randallfawc7501]

not impressed with speed on the straights.

[@hellyenjones9464]

Single lugnut is for indy car and F1. Nascar just keeps running its self into the ground.

[@kawai99100]

Numbers look stupid.

[@DaveGme]

Let them put a car number wherever they want. It has lost the reason its even there. I don’t need a number on the car at all.

[@rks29]

Unsponsored cars are going to look really awkward now.

[@richardhancock4071]

Looks the same old racing who ever is out front can stay out front but once again nascar trying there best to screw racing up even more with this car

[@parkerwalsh3340]

The disappointing part is this basically killed rim riding, just hugging the line.

[@RedWingsninetyone]

Not necessarily. They're testing. No point in getting close to the wall in the corners until you're more comfortable with the car. Plus, who knows how the grip is up there at the moment

[@mrwest231]

As the runs go longer, they'll either be all around the bottom or all around the top. If the cars had more power and less spoiler on the back, maybe we would actually see multi groove racing without putting a chemical on the surface to "enhance the show".

How?
