NASCAR trailer mocks F1 ahead of 2026 season
American stock car series NASCAR appears to have poked fun at F1’s fresh regulations in a teaser trailer for their 2026 season. NASCAR’s Cup Series starts on February 15 with the Daytona 500, contrasting F1’s later start in March. The new F1 rules bring changes in power units and car design, aiming for smaller, lighter, and more agile cars. NASCAR seems to indicate a different fan experience, with the teaser trailer taking playful jabs at F1. Featuring Scott Eastwood, the trailer emphasizes NASCAR’s loud engines and roots in American heritage, juxtaposing F1’s sophistication. The 2026 F1 season kicks off on March 6 in Melbourne, introducing new power unit regulations and a focus on sustainability.
