NASCAR Reveals Updated Aerodynamic Package

Luke Butler

NASCAR officials have announced a revised aerodynamic package for the Next Gen car, targeting improved racing at intermediate speedways. The changes come after extensive testing and feedback from drivers and teams during the off-season.

The modifications include revised underwing designs and adjusted rear spoiler angles, intended to reduce dirty air effects and enhance side-by-side racing opportunities. Teams have expressed optimism that the changes will lead to more passing and closer competition throughout the field.

Initial testing at Charlotte Motor Speedway showed promising results, with drivers reporting better car control and more confidence when racing in traffic. The new package will debut at the season-opening Daytona 500 in February.
