So what you are saying is that if you are driving a race car shaped like the box my sneakers came in, running the fancy underpinnings of an early 70's GMC truck as suspension, and lacking any modern ground effect or other grip producing air management system, a big goofy spoiler is useful?
Maybe they can evolve even more and keep running carbs for another 20 years while they are at it. lol
The cars are outdated and the sanctioning body is shrinking it's own talent pool by legislating and pricing it's way further and further away from all of the other top national and international sanctioning bodies.
Next year you will see the most dramatic drop when the Nationwide series has the car of 20 years ago thrust upon them. You can kiss all the smaller teams goodbye, further reducing the avenues for the young up and comers to make a name for themselves.
I used to be a NASCAR fan, but that was before the cookie cutter tracks and spec racing started. Back in the day when drivers weren't fined for indivuality and teams that came up with cutting edge ideas that weren't in the rule book got a pat on the back and kept a competitive advantage instead of suspensions and fines being handed out. Any more they are just evolving into the worlds most expensive spec series.
