NASCAR is providing Cup Series teams with new parts for aerodynamic changes before the race at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday. This move aims to prevent cars from becoming airborne and enhance safety measures on the track. Modifications will include adding a rocker skirt to the side of the cars, fabric to the right roof flap interior, and extending the right-side roof rails with polycarbonate by two inches.
The necessity for these adjustments has been underscored by past incidents, such as Josh Berry and Michael McDowell’s brushes with going airborne at Daytona International Speedway. Additionally, Corey LaJoie’s flip at Michigan International Speedway highlighted the importance of increasing liftoff speeds for safety. Talladega Superspeedway marks the final superspeedway race of the season, making these preventive measures crucial, especially in the context of the ongoing Cup Series playoffs’ Round of 12.
