NASCAR reveals new short track/road course package for 2024
NASCAR has confirmed that Cup teams will receive a rulebook bulletin outlining the updates to the Next Gen car for road courses and most oval tracks measuring 1.058-mile or less. As part of the updates, Cup cars will feature a simplified diffuser, along with a few other changes, based on driver feedback from a test at Phoenix in December. The simplified diffuser will not be used for the preseason Busch Light Clash at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. According to Eric Jacuzzi, NASCAR’s vice president of vehicle performance, the new car design will improve traffic and provide more rear downforce when the car yawed. The first race with the new package is set to take place on March 10 at Phoenix.
