I wouldn’t say I like flips, but as Denny said, “I’d rather flip over than go straight into a wall head-on”

Marcus it’s very hard to win at Daytona, it’s not about speed, it’s about knowledge

*Makes bottom of the car completely flat*
*car flips more often*
NASCAR: :O
Gee, anyone could of told you that when you make the bottom completely flat when cars were already flipping because they’re shaped like airplane wings, they’re going to flip more with the bottom of the car flat. I don’t think the 20mph were helping either

they haven’t even really been blowing over that much more often. 2020 and 2021 only had the one cup flip each but 2019 had two, 2018 had one, 2017 very nearly had one (chase elliott). also since the next gen has been a thing, the xfinity cars have had just as many blow overs. in fact they’ve had more. snider, mayer, perkins, and sieg compared to cup having the three (burton, preece, and lajoie)

Hard to account for all the possible variables, but as you noted, the grass made it violent. Nice to see Daytona eliminated their grassy areas.

I wonder if removing the smooth underbody would help….

@scottshinbaum1772 August 21, 2024 at 3:58 pm

I don’t think it has as much of an impact, because Kyle Sieg went for the exact same ride in the Xfinity Series race on Saturday, and those cars do not have the smooth underbody. Coincidentally, if you look at where LaJoie entered the grass on his roof, you can see at the exact same spot where Sieg’s car had dug into the grass earlier.

Its all because the air has nowhere to go, you can see the pressure just all goes under his hood and it causes it to lift smh

Did Larry forget that Burton nearly caught the pavement and almost barrel rolled, removing the grass still won’t help(this might cause war but whatever)

They will likely glide on the roof without stopping back on the race track.
