Yeah I would be worried also if I was you. The Chevys have been spotting the field, the bite from the apple is gone next year.
 
Heard they going to use this chassis in Busch Series in 2027 with rear leaf springs, old-school 9" Ford differential/regular transmission, 5.5 inch front coil springs, rack & pigeon steering.

Dr. Eric Warren babble....nobody in the history of motorsport has ever said that their new car sucked. Time will tell. I do believe that the secret is in the POWER DOME and the CARBON ACCESSORY PACKAGE. Game changers.

Does it help more or less than helicopter tape?
 
Might be getting a sneak peek to what Dodge may look like when they join cup. Bubba Pollards new Dodge Charger for 2026, late models are looking more like cup cars.
 
I really hope Toyota sticks with the Camry and doesn't jump ship to the Supra, but it doesn't look promising.

According to the clip, fresher tires also had a role. Wallace and Briscoe had the oldest at 73 laps, Reddick had the newest with right sides with 20 laps on them. The rest. Hocevar, Suarez, Preece, SVG, and Buescher had 35 laps on theirs.

We saw it with our own eyes, Reddick didn't lose any speed, in fact he might have gained some.

Jr actually has said in the past in the Download show that sometimes that actually cools the right front tire and causes less wear. He mentioned he won Martinsville that way before. Obviously Atlanta is a little different but with what we were seeing with tires I’d imagine it was a very similar situation.
 
If you like the technical part of Nascar, this is in in depth look at RCR/ECR racing and engine shops done at their 16 building racing shops and development centers at the RCR campus. ECR engines have to be within 1/4 of one percent HP from each other to out the door. They do everything from the ground up at these shops.

Was wondering about this, so he's mostly crediting new tires and the air disruption that may have been trailing him. In racing jargon, "beneficial damage" maybe possibly but doesn't sound like much which is the most surprising part.

He mentioned at a track like Martinsville, would keep the right front cooler, think that's the most extreme example I've ever seen when the 5 car of Mark Martin got hit from behind and the rear end spoiler got way jacked up in the air on the right side with extra downforce sidebite.

Interestingly enough, Was watching Larry on about the undertray and diffuser about this car and it seems reversed backwards the more you get the backend up in the air the more downforce you lose, because apparently much of the downforce is being created is coming from underneath the car, this seems very backwards to me and what I would call a "porpoise or dolphin" setup in sim world, where you get the nose up in the air and backend down out of the air to reduce drag.

^^^ this is typically a very funky setup to drive, not to pick at the racing it's good, but if we're talking about further improving the product on track. I think they should start using the clash and the all-star race to experiment around with getting the rear spoiler up in the air more to level out the car or pitch it forward more, and get some air under the car up off the ground not sealed to the ground limits, and take the undertray and diffuser off the car completely, the more air disruption the better underneath and just tinker around on some of this stuff to see what happens.

Go to tracks with the Clash and All-Star race where you could use testing out some different things, and see what happens. With the Next-Gen car. Experimental rambling thoughts of one guy.
 
The effectiveness of the Gen 7 rear spoiler is impaired by bodywork symetry. The undertray / diffuser more than overcomes the deficit.

I read this like 12 times already, and have decided to leave it to the professionals, does that mean the car will be too loose to drive without the undertray/diffuser?
