NASCAR's car of tomorrow...is everything we don't like.

[Perfectlap]

I'm going to my first Yee Haw race this weekend. One of the driver's and I have a friend in common he used to race against him in junior formulas.

The new car looks awful. I'll never understand why they still use NYC taxi cab wheels.
All other tin top racing series like DTM, BTCC, Grand Am, etc. use trick looking wheels...Really makes a huge difference. NASCAR gets a low tech rap and dem wheels aren't helping.

I saw the old car up close last year at a sponsorship event and its actually much smaller than it looks on TV. Lower too.

As far as the racing, I have been to many oval races and its maybe one of the most mind boggling things you will ever see up close. Completely lost on TV.
This is the most dangerous racing formula in the world when you look at the number of fatalities in the last five years.
