Are they planning on cutaway car to show off the new car changes? The tires, suspensions, fueling systems, electronics, aero and transmission are NOT all the exact same.
That's just what I read, don't remember where, copy and paste....😉
Just finished the race. It looked like there was going to be a wheel/tire issue all race, guess not. Seems like the tires wear well if they can come in and take fuel only...
Harrison Burton went on his lid at the end of stage 1. No idea how he didn't go rolling down the track. Got nice view what the underside looks like, guessing totally enclosing the underbelly is part of the new package?
Happy for the rookie with the win...

The under plate looks like a F1 or INDY car

D500 has been won by first timers lately.

An INDY car and F1 weigh about half of an Next Gen car.

I think the strain when not in a straight line is too much the wheels

Yup. We won't be done talking about wheel issues. May turn out to be a big "ooooops" by NASCAR.....
