Tyler Reddick On What It Would Take To Fix The Short Track Package | Door Bumper Clear

[@ryangeldart5340]

I remember in the 2000s drivers would only get to half throttle at bristol, thats where the drivers that were good at reducing tire spin and car control really shined

[@noahsathletics]

When my daily driver has more HP than a nascar cup car, that is so wrong.

[@picklefart]

I built a Yates c3 headed windsor based motor as a young man because cup motors were a thing of beauty. These motors now don’t bring about those same feelings. Like you said, people’s daily drivers make so much hp on pump gas that these new cup motors look kind of silly.

More horsepower and less on throttle time would absolutely make for better racing. It would emphasize driver skills and chassis set-up.

[@Preso_]

Hell even Supercars have managed to cut the costs of the engines in half and keep the power at 650hp, yes its not quite 900 but the formula is there.

[@ericwendlandt7808]

Doug Yates stated a couple months ago another 100hp is no problem for the current set up. Beyond that it would take some work. Think about it cup cars had 950hp but 1.25" less tire on all 4 corners

[@johnhaas2523]

Even adding another hundred You might have to change the gear ratio and with the setup have now that might be costly since not a solid rear axle

[@uliwehner]

i think part of the problem is that the actual car is so good now that boring tracks will produce boring racing, just not enough fall off. I have been watching boring races for decades now btw. i have dozed off at atlanta (before the repave) and at Talladega (before they tore down the backstretch. The car is so good now that road races may be the thing to do, and shorttracks with LOTS of horsepower. your typical 1.5 mile oval or bigger is just not exciting without horespower. and we can't really go as fast as Bill Elliott did and be safe in any kind of car.

[@johnabriggs6044]

Not just Horsepower It a combination of Rear Gear and transmission ratios that give the sweet spot of a car's ability to show the driver skills and chassis set-up to achieve the best racing. Driver Safety is also a part of why the horsepower is limited. Looking at NASCAR's history of how much HP the older car had It still needed gearing and car control to make for good racing.

[@truenorthcanadian5628]

Plus, removing the splitter would be beneficial

[@radienmayakovsky3]

As well as Increasing Engine Oil Tank Capacity

[@local9963]

Limiting hp isn't making it safer, if the lap times and lap speeds are still the same. It just changes the way it acts in the corner. OEM's and nascar want teams to get more races from the engines. How Reddick and Harvick (on the Dale Jr podcast) explained it, it sounds more like kart racing now, almost in the throttle all the way around the track instead of rolling in and driving off off a turn.

[@codileger4876]

I think the fix is a narrower tire. Is this cheap, no. It would cost NASCAR about 10 million to buy all the teams new rims. Here’s the engineering explanation: Wider tire equals a few things. More lateral grip since there is more surface area, more Heat dissipation resulting in tires not overheating and wearing out since the rubber does not get hot enough to burn off, more flexibility in the corner since you have a wider core (also reason why it looks like teams are running them flat bc lower pressure allows more flex), more grip under braking again bc of more surface area allowing more rolling resistance, more grip under acceleration again bc there is more surface area allowing for the power being put through the tire to be dispersed better and preventing slippage (aka friction). There is no falloff bc the tire does not get hot enough for the chemical reaction to happen to change the molecular strength of the tire. Need I go further NASCAR. Surely your engineers have told you this by now

[@johnhaas2523]

You know who we're buying the new wheels? It wouldn't be NASCAR

[@m_cabral]

I’d like to see narrower tires for ovals and a more GTE/GT2 approach for road racing using the Garage 56 experience. In both cases there should be more power. One aero change that could help is fixing the fit of the splitters and floor so they don’t run the cars squat in the rear. Putting adjustability back into the rear of the car seems like a no-brainer.

[@PaperBanjo64]

Just put the Xfinity tires on Cup cars, that alone would help.

I did hear probably 6 months ago either on DJD or another interview where the OEM's are not wanting the big horsepower. Various reasons...but I suspect that there is probably back door financial reasons that someone isn't saying that is gripping the increase in HP. Higher HP will increase the tire fall off (more pit stops=more money), braking stress due higher corner entries, more stress on the driveline which means they will have to redesign the vender parts=more money, the list goes on but the racing will be better and that will increase revenue for Nascar. Just my take.....

[@nicalos007]

Its aggravating when me a 16 year old is starting to lose love for the sport that i have grown up with. I truly find it hard to understand why a billion dollar company cant give us 900+ horsepower. Its not safety, its not the cost, its not the drivers or fans saying no; it really is NASCAR just being scared to take a risk that could save the sport. People only quit watching because the racing became bad when they made it easy to control the car and lowered the horsepower enough to where drivers can quite literally just get in the car and floor it around the track. Its to the point where NASCAR needs to start taking risks and attempt to save the sport or else it will die; and now is the best time since they have just gotten 8 billion dollars from the new TV package. It's honestly sad, and I understand why NASCAR fans quit watching when the CoT car was introduced. Hopefully NASCAR will start to change and accept being wrong, I would love to hear that old scream the cars use to have when they were 1000+ horsepower. With the safety we have today, it wouldn't hurt to try it. Especially after we experienced Newman's flip in 2020 and preece's flip this year.

[@johnhaas2523]

Because no manufacture wants that kinda horsepower. Do you see any Hondas with 900 horsepower any Toyota's? Not even the new mustang dark horse makes 900 horsepower And you don't f****** understand about the f****** cost to the teams That would have to buy a new for every race plus it backup engines and Doug Yates from ROUSH Yates engines would have to increase the cost that Ford teams have to pay and ECR engine shop and HMS engine shop with half to also increase to the teams at lease engines from them.

In this aspect it cost WAY more to gain 1/10th of HP than it does to gain 300. R&D work and time will cost way more when they are constantly trying to redesign combustion chamber and Piston tops to gain 1/10th of HP. Since there’s a boundary of say 600 and you’re at 598, you have to find 2HP. You can pull a restrictor plate or tapered spacer and gain 100+ instantly. Of course they’ll be redesign for durability but you can gain plenty of power very quickly.

Similar to what they said the average dirt super latemodel at your local dirt track is in the 850-900 hp range, lasts an entire season between rebuilds and outside of cautions lives sees 500-100 laps per weekend 30 weeks out of the year at 9200 rpm and some see in excess of 11,000 rpm and just get a valve spring change every 4 events as basic maintenance.

@johnhaas2523 being close to the street has nothing to do with reliability! If you don't believe me on that then ask yourself why high power subarus last longer then factory ones

Steve Phelps has not impressed me whatsoever.

It's not his job to impress you because he doesn't decide on the horsepower He handles the business stuff

Insurance companies, accountants, lawyers, investment bankers do not need to be running a racing series. None of the current NASCAR execs. have ever had grease under their finger nails. 1000 HP NOW! Let's roll.

[@johnhaas2523]

Jim France is in charge as CEO and chairman. Steve Phelps job is just the handle the business stuff and all the Vice Presidents report to him and Steve reports to Jim France and lesa France Kennedy. There is not one single investment banker involved in Nascar leadership.

[@cptvane3439]

It doesn't make sense to have 1000+ horse power imo

[@President_Grover_Cleveland]

Right. 2500+ HP!!!

[@dracer555]

I’m tired of hearing about how much it cost when there getting 10 billion tv deals expecting a family where the husband and wife both work and struggle to get by these days. When my NA small block is making 750 800 hp and last dam good racing. Just sick of seeing NASCAR go backwards. Or about don’t give af anymore

[@dufferdude1205]

More horse power means more talent to handle the car overall or you crash. Wouldn’t it weed out the not so good with money and make space for those who can actually handle it. Better racing too.

[@georgew.5639]

Except for the safety features of today’s cars, we need to go back to the way it was prior to 1990. And I am not referring to just the cars. I mean everything! Watch a pre 1990 race here on KZbin and you’ll see what I am talking about.

[@Mattdugas24]

Why does it cost them double or triple what it cost a 600hp pavement super late model engine costs. It’s like $25k-$30k for a super late model engine and it’s a third of the cost of a cup engine that makes the same power. Pretty stupid if they want to be talking cost of things.

[@scramlll529]

Manufactures is the reason why the block and heads are 20 K. It the biggest coast to the teams.

[@scramlll529]

Also the engines are almost identical as they were 10 years ago 850hp+ 9500 rpm. Same block and heads they were all designed about 15 years ago.

[@johnhaas2523]

Because you would need more engines instead of being able to run two races out of the same engine how many times like are required to now

[@eallend]

Yeah amazing to think that cost would be an excuse used from a sport that has begun making you buy multiple subscriptions to watch the extent of what NASCAR has to offer. When you used to run 1000hp cars on broadcast cable for everyone to enjoy. Just silly.

[@johnhaas2523]

Nobody's forcing you to buy anything and a lot of people already got a subscription to Amazon prime and anything that's on max is going to be on TNT or trutv in 2025

[@alexfire53-ze7px]

1000hp wayyyyyyy to expensive for independent race teams

[@ryanlagoda1352]

NASCAR has become purely an entertainment sport...this new car is one big entertainment defect. How does that work?

[@snelgrove22]

Who cares about the price, if you can afford it build it, nascar was built on who had the biggest motor, bring what you got, and hope you brought enough

[@noahsathletics]

Too much thinking and talking. Put solid rear suspension back in, take away 500 lbs, add more HP and have it sound bad ass that’s what most of us want. The rest just want electric race cars.

[@johnhaas2523]

You're not getting away from the independent rear suspension Because that would be going away from more resemblance to what The street cars have

[@JJA1987]

Preach Noah

[@DerrickRG]

Phelps and O'Donnell are everything wrong with this current clown show we call NASCAR.

[@SHOE53]

Tyler is talking in circle one hand he says we on the edges in the corner now but adding some HP want make much difference in corner speed now so I take it there not really on the edge now but it all aero race car who ever has that has the advantage that why they can't pass they all running the same speed, the truth NASCAR don't want higher HP there afraid it would scare off these other car manufacture from enter the sport.

[@brianlinton910]

How much is enough? All of it. This is supposed to be the top level. How much teams can put to the ground and use without running out of fuel should be the limit. Or carry on. “We’ll never get back to where we were.” Sounds like the best days are long gone. Or how much would it appease fans to know we tried not to suck but failed? Pffft Checking into the conversation about twice a year is probably more than enough. Just rename it F1 stock lite ultra or something at this point.

[@RoastBeefSandwich]

If the fans want it why is it even a question. NASCAR is only concerned with what TV wants - and TV wants chaotic restarts where nobody can gain the upper hand without aero tricks.

[@johnhaas2523]

It has nothing to do with TV over the horsepower whatsoever manufacturers have major say but so does cost And what's the point of increasing it if it's not going to make a difference unless you go over a thousand horsepower and that's never going to happen

[@RoastBeefSandwich]

@@johnhaas2523 how much cheaper are the engines now vs. say 5 years ago when they were running 750HP, or 10 years ago when they were running 900HP?

[@johnhaas2523]

​@@RoastBeefSandwichAll I know is it's more expensive to find one horsepower versus 10 but You don't need a new engine every week and nascar requires use the same long or short block for x number of races so 2 races basically for every engine for x number of races

[@alexfire53-ze7px]

Nascar aint sticking to tv in 2025

Seem they are trying SLOWY MOVE us to electric cars. I would never watch again if so nor follow anything remotely nascar

How about going back to real race modified STOCK cars

[@briansutphin4180]

horsepower may save Nascar, but they've went so far down this BS road with this car, their demise may be inevitable.... I hate the new car til this day.... I have been an avid fan of Nascar for the last 40 years.... I hate the spoked wheels, the thin ass tires, getting towed because you had a flat, getting damage because of a flat, and the number placement.... the rest of it I can handle, but that isn't a "stockcar" to me.... I'd much rather watch the CARS tour....
