Made worse due to the splitter. It's like a knife that literally skates the road half the time. Wish they went back to the old valance front end (below). It was less finicky from a set-up point of view and much harder to damage. Easier to repair too if bent. Lot of drivers and teams have called for it but NASCAR rarely listens to good ideas.Cheeveer wrote: ↑2 years agoA guess is the NASCAR cars lower ride height peeling it out of the ground.DoubleFart wrote: ↑2 years ago Why were the Kerbs lifting, yet not for Indycar which produces more downforce?

Now: Spin into grass and it'll destroy the whole front end of the car, especially if the grass is wet.

NASCAR use ground effects which cause it to lift (they also produce more downforce than an Indycar iirc.) plus the splitter is so low it literally sliced under the curb.DoubleFart wrote: ↑2 years ago Why were the Kerbs lifting, yet not for Indycar which produces more downforce?
Oh and an Indycar is a third of the weight.
I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.

Numbers are going forward next year...also note Kurt Busch is going to be in the #45 for 23XI next year
and here's the kicker... At first glance, I can't really say I'm a fan, but I was the same way about the halo in Formula racing...I was like "ew this is gross" and by the third week I was used to it LOL

Chris Buescher has been disqualified from his second place finish at Daytona, meaning that Josh Bilicki earns his first top 10 finish in his career, and only the third for Rick Ware Racing in 406 starts.

Denny Hamlin's longtime girlfriend has posted two rather interesting messages to social media.
