NASCAR Announces 2016 Rules Package

[Darkanion]

Next year's base package includes a 3.5-inch spoiler (currently 6 inches), a 0.25-inch front leading splitter edge (currently 2 inches) and a 33-inch wide radiator pan (currently 38 inches; it was 28 inches at the Darlington and Kentucky races).

The result of the smaller spoiler and other components will produce less downforce -- downward thrust of a car created by aerodynamics -- which drivers say gives them more control of the car and also results in both less throttle time and slower speeds in the corners.

I was thinking the same thing. Several "big ones" and a field of 10 cars finishing the race lol
