"The test featured four simulated races with four configurations on the Gen-6 Sprint Cup Series car. Drivers had to attend a mandatory debrief with NASCAR following each session to give feedback on the aerodynamic, engine and suspension combinations."

"Among the four test car configurations on which data was accumulated and will be sorted through over the coming hours and days were:

—Splitters with a square leading edge.

—Skirts at four-inch minimum ground clearance on both sides of car.

—Rear fascia trimmed 1.375 inches higher in current scallop region.

—9-inch rear spoiler with 1-by-14-inch-wide end tabs.

—8.375-inch rear spoiler with 1-by-14-inch end tabs.

—1.5-inch high by 37.5-inch wide roof strip.

—43-inch wide by 13-inch long radiator pan."

Pretty interesting read. What say you?http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/nascar-final-test-2014-rules-package-21185199
 
I'm glad they try stuff to fine tune the car. Lately the lead car in clean air seems to have an advantage. On the flip side there was a time that the second car had an advantage passing with the draft.
 
I bet they had sensors in the cars to measure differences. Probably have plenty of data from the pack runs.
