we will never hear the end of it now since junior's prodigy won. it was a fluke win on a rp track. mike wallace has gotten top tens in that car. i dont think bk will translate well in cup.

The fact remains that restricter plates gives too much of a level playing field and promotes pack racing. What is needed is an aero device which creates both drag and turbulent air, enough to reduce pack racing but not so much that it prevents it outright.

Any aero device that makes downforce will make drag, and drag=turbulent air.

Even if the cars didn't have aero devices, they still have enough mechanical grip to drive around the track without lifting.

Even in the first Daytona 500, drivers noticed that with the steep banking, they never had to lift. That was 50 years ago.

I think the best solution would be to go with a tire that's been grooved à la F1. If taking away aero won't solve the problem, we'll take away mechanical grip.
