"When the car is painted..." Only there's very few teams that paint their cars anymore, they have a company that makes vinyl wraps that go on the body and 2-3 crew members put it on the car, smooth it out, and take a exacto-knife and cut the excess off, then apply the headlight and car logo decals

@BLACK ICEYOU it depends on the team, Hendrick typically paints all or half their car, depending on the track (they paint their cars at super speedways)

Techincally speaking, all of the cars are "stock" per a given formula. So there's that. There are also a lot of choices and adjustments going on underneath the skin. Most of it is engineering based, but there are also mechanical adjustments. Otherwise, yes it's still a highspeed chess parade with crashes until you get to the road courses. Then it's overweight american cars trying to be real race cars, which in and of itself is hilarious.

The previous generations had their nose made from steel so this wasn't really a problem, the sixth generation cars have composite front ends which are are an absolute joke in terms of durability and cost. The CoT at least did something things right. They were extremely durable and also cheaper. The cars pretty much never shattered. Now if only they weren't dependent upon the front splitter, which is another common point of failure.

[@cuddzilla]

With the new "NEXT GEN" cars...I'd like to know EXACTLY how much has changed. From what I've seen, the NEXT GEN cars are closer to Indy cars than "Stock Cars".

[@mindcrime828]

The chassis has been redesigned to provide more driver safety and with front and rear clips that are bolted on, rather than welded. The NextGen car will also have rack and pinion steering, coil over shocks instead of springs, independent rear suspension, ram air induction, dual side exhaust, a composite body, 18" aluminum wheels, and a 5-speed sequential shift transaxle. The new body is symmetrical like a production car, and outside of the greenhouse is mfg specific design. Most of these changes better align the race car with it's production counterpart than before, with exception of having to use a single lug nut with the larger aluminum wheels.

NASCAR racing car should have conventional open/close front bonnet & open/close doors . . . if not anything atleast a proper open/close driver side door with (for safety reasons) . . . the roof hatch just ain't enough . . . the one piece moulded body concept is no better than a Hot Wheels miniature model car in Toys-R-Us . . .
