The Next Gen car will be so much different than the Gen 6. Nothing is guaranteed, but the design of the car and some of the new features look really promising such as the stepped splitter, symmetrical design, diffuser and the sideskirt. All of these things should improve the on track product and should put the racing back in the driver’s a lot more than this awful gen 6 car and high downforce crap.

your going to hate 2022 then as dale jr on his podcast has basically said every track is most likely going to unrestricted 550 hp engines at this point because it should massively reduce cost and barrier for entry for all OEM current or possibly in the future i would liek to also add NASCAR must modernize the engine teh as the reason why OEMs arent interested in Nascar is because nobody is really making to many pushrod engines anymore, in block cam is obsolete tech. ,the best thing Nascar could do would be to change the engine to DOHC from SOHC as an example.

#bringbackgen4 Edit: Even when the leader wins by 5 sec, there’s still 39 other cars behind him that are racing hard. I don’t see the issue.

[@SamnissArandeen]

Yeah, if the leader runs away from the pack with better driving and better car, he deserves it. No fucking with the aero to artificially produce close racing, that only encourages dump and run tactics, increases the chance of being caught in someone else's mistake, and puts driver safety in jeopardy. Plate tracks are horrible about this

[@sotamotion]

I feel your pain....

[@thejman3489]

The problem is with the restrictor plate or tapered spacer. You take a roughly 900hp engine and block the air flow so it only makes 550hp. Now put it on the race track where you have other cars in front of you and you really can't get air flow to the engine. This is why the leader always runs away or just has to put duty air on the car behind them. The guy out front has better air flow and can put down the power. The guy behind is down on power. I realize it's not the only thing going on here but it definitely plays a part.

The matter of fact that everything he said is perfectly true, but lets not forget that we didn’t have practice or qualify for majority of 2020 season, if we had them this season, the #4 team would’ve made adjustments and most likely they could’ve won the race. yes im aware we already raced a kansas before this, but 1 or 2 races isn’t good enough to try to figure out what adjustments that team needs to put on. 2020 is a year of unexpectedly that we could ever imagine.

Lemme guess, was it bc Logano winning?

[@JPRPokeTrainer98]

To make matters worse, you have guys with clearly slower cars like Austin Dillon at Texas and Logano at Kansas getting free tickets into the Playoffs and the Championship race. I feel like the combination of this package and the Playoff format has severely hurt the integrity of NASCAR.

[@DanielNuteson]

Texas and Pocono and London last year were races where the driver won by dirty air and the car behind had the faster car

[@JPRPokeTrainer98]

@NolanEP That is a fair point, though I think it's a bit more extreme in the cases of Dillon/Logano where they ran out front, virtually uncontested for 30+ green flag laps while the best cars were breathing down their necks. I get that the fastest car doesn't always win, but I think this package goes a long way to make it happen more frequently.

Great ideas in this video. I was huge into NASCAR as a kid. My dad and I went to both Talladega races for about 8 straight years.

Its very upsetting to watch how it is now and compare it to how i remember it. i agree that im afraid they will mess up the new car and i really dont want to leave this sport but im not sure if i can keep watching it. They are favoring entertainment over racing and theres too many really good racing series out there to keep sticking up for NASCAR.

Looking back, that was a fluke

[@fishproductions22]

Ever since NASCAR came back from the covid break, it just hasn't felt the same to me. I became a fan in 2012, and its changed a lot since then. Most of the drivers that were racing then have retired, and Ive steadily lost interest in the sport because of this. I didn't lose a ton of interest each year, very little if im being honest, but this year ive really been losing interest because of a lot of things: 3 drivers dominating, the aero package sucks, drivers that i grew up with don't race anymore, and a culture change as a whole in the sport. But I think the thing that really sent me over the edge the most this year was the 2021 schedule. I know a lot of people like it, but it's such a departure from the NASCAR i knew back in 2012 i just can't get behind it. And that's not the only thing. It's just felt like every race has been the same this year. Hamlin and Harvick and some occasional other guy coming along and winning. There's also so much controversy this year, talladega fall specifically, and that was quite possibly the worst race I've ever seen. It's just so plain at this point.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Uh sorry but short track's are literally nascars roots, and so are road courses, they now have 7 for 2021 counting the Shootout at Daytona, the 2021 is actually good.....and what talladega race did u watch??

They've tried to ruin the Truck Series, their best series, for years, & are just about there. Xfinity has been dead in the water for years & nothing will fix it. Even with promises of positive change, negatives always take over tenfold. Other motorsports have been adversely affected, especially the NHRA. No less than 3 times I've considered retirement from NASCAR & this community. 2015 because 2015. 2018 because of this community. Now this year because of both, & now my health is being affected by that & factors outside of here. Heck I've been more focused on Pokémon & Game Shows than I have Auto Racing over the past few years. I want to have hope for 2022 & the future, but then again... NASCAR is what made me a pessimist for many years. I have more hope for the XFL in 2022 & then I do Auto Racing, & NASCAR specifically. Heck I have more hope for the SRX series in 2021 then I do any other motorsport. If NASCAR F's up badly the next 2 years, I *will* be done. Heck I may done even sooner honestly... NASCAR as a whole is just... trash.

High Downforce is the driver equivalent of Kyle Busch.

[@DepravedCoTApologist]

No, because Kyle is a top 10 driver all-time (don't @ me), that's a terrible comparison. If This package was a driver, it would be Ryan Newman

Feel the same

Very well said my man.

I get more enjoyment watching the Xfinity and the trucks I know Briscoe ran away with the race on Saturday but it was a much better race

I feel like if a popular driver wins no one bitches like this, They talk about how good they held off the other the guy. If you're mad Logano won just say it.

X-3 car link as discussed below: www.reddit.com/r/NASCAR/comments/47su17/photos_of_nascars_x3_test_car_possible_2017_car/ Some of this is on fans who begged Nascar to use this pakcage after they tried it at the all star race a couple of years ago. But at the end of the day whether the leader wins by 7 seconds on the old package, or you cant pass with the new, aero is the common denominator. Nascar built a car in 2016 with limited aero and even a front bumper that allowed air under the car and it was called the X-3. Appears similar to the next gen and hopefully no side force. Here is another link talking about the X-3 car and how it eliminated side force. Also the reason it could not be implemented on the Gen6 car. Scroll half way down the page to X-3 a new hope. chairgatin.com/racing/the-major-issues-with-nascars-current-car-model/

Sorry for the spams but I don't think the gen 6 was a failure, I think it's the packages. Years like 2016 and ESPECIALLY 2014 had great packages and they were gen 6.

[@rudyk5518]

Yeah, and NASCAR just played around too much with the package mainly after 2014, which was completely unnecessary considering the great racing of 2014. F1 has the same problem. In F1, they had a great racing package in 2014, but nowadays, dirty air and engine temps are king. 2022 is going to be a HUGE year for both NASCAR and F1

[@DanielNuteson]

@@rudyk5518 Yes. I hope that NASCAR and F1 get good cars and packages for 2022, You can't pass with 550HP and in f1 without DRS.

[@Payton_Baldridge]

Everything you said in this video is straight up facts

[@TylerSmith-ce8pm]

Best option would be how much we can make the cars stable in turbulent air behind the others, being able to drive through the turbulence while staying stable would make for great racing, how we could do that idk

[@rdh3024]

I got more enjoyment out of the Truck race on Saturday. That was actually fun.
