NASCAR – The new aero package in Kentucky

A few days ago, the hypothesis of seeing the Sprint Cup Series cars benefit a modified aerodynamic package with reduced support had been mentioned by the NASCAR. This idea will finally come to fruition next month, on the Kentucky meeting.

“After several discussions and collaboration with manufacturers, teams, drivers and Goodyear, we have made the decision to move forward on this subject. » said Steve O'Donnell, executive vice president of NASCAR. With the aim of encouraging overtaking, the height of the rear spoiler will notably be reduced. These changes will only be introduced for the Kentucky race, but “all options remain on the table. » according to O'Donnell for the rest of the season, as for an introduction into the events. Officials of the American series would like to first study the data from the race from the weekend of July 11 before moving forward on the subject.
