Dear oh dear, NASCAR. Just listen to the drivers! Everybody knows that the racing is poor on the intermediate tracks because the cars are TOO aero dependent. Clean air is too important and when you're close behind another car, the dirty air causes you to lose downforce, so you can't race closely to the car in front. The solution is not MORE downforce and less power. That makes the cars even more aero dependent and even easier to control! Why can they not see the obvious?
Do not alter the amount of power. Its fine. Get rid of half of the downforce. That stupid front splitter. The rear spoiler. Raise the cars up off the ground a little bit. They'll be slower in the corners, but at least they can then race closely without complaining about dirty air. The racing will be better. The cars will be tougher to control. It's what almost every fan wants to see. The easier and more boring you continue to make it, the more your attendances and ratings will continue to drop. Listen to what the drivers are trying to tell you and come back in 2015 with a low downforce car that puts on a great show for us.
If they go with their 'Prime' rules package, then expect some of the worst racing you've ever seen, where you can't even follow another car within a few car lengths.
