NASCAR announces new rules package for ovals and road courses
NASCAR will debut a new aerodynamic rules package for the NASCAR Cup Series in March at Phoenix Raceway, aimed to enhance the racing product at short ovals and road courses, the sanctioning body announced Tuesday.
The package features slight modifications to the Next Gen car that significantly decrease the downforce created by the vehicles. This configuration will be utilized at all tracks where “wet weather equipment” will be required: Charlotte Roval, Chicago Street Course, Circuit of The Americas, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course, Martinsville, New Hampshire, North Wilkesboro, Phoenix, Richmond, Sonoma and Watkins Glen.
Chief among the changes are a two-inch rear spoiler (a reduction from the current four-inch blade on the rear deck lid) in addition to several tweaks underneath the car. Those include the removal of three diffuser strakes, engine panel strakes and trimming the diffuser’s outer fencing. All changes were run together during the second day of a January test at Phoenix.
“That basically adds up to about a 30% downforce reduction,” Dr. Eric Jacuzzi told NASCAR.com. “We’re now in a downforce level we haven’t been at since pre-2000s for sure — like mid ’90s.”

SRX is definitely catching on. Cool to see some big name Cup drivers joining in. Looks like it’ll be a fun season to watch.

SRX races are fun and not overly drawn out.
Only thing I don't care for is the appearance of the cars.
Put some 80's Monte/Regal/Cutlass/GP/TBird bodies on them.

I can get behind this.

They are ugly as shite, but just from a pure spectator’s view, the show they put on is great. They bump and run and slip and slide all over the place.

I love the low downforce package. I say all the time that the modern cars handle too well making it less entertaining at cookie cutter tracks. Cars get too spread out… leaders hold the lead for 50+ lap stretches…

Would be a big loss for SHR. In a time in which most teams no longer have a true primary sponsor, AB has remained one for the 4 team.

Would be kinda cool to see AB go back to the 8 car.

Chase Elliott is out this weekend after injuring his leg in a snowboarding accident. The injury required surgery. Josh Berry will fill in for him Sunday.

Yeah, when I posted the news I did wonder what his response will be.

Unfortunately I think we all know.
Anyone who pulls or cheers for an injury is a low-life.

Anyone catching the truck series race tonight? Rowdy was flying again in qualifying.
