Chief Racing Development Officer John Probst met with NASCAR on Friday in Daytona to discuss the new right-side air deflector. The change comes following the No. 7's flip last weekend at Michigan Speedway. #nascar

(Car still flips)
Yep
(Starts to flip and that thing becomes a wing)
I wanna bet 50 someone’s flyin tomorrow
Keep this in mind, if Reddick wins, Corey becomes an astronaut.
lol
What I miss lol
@@VaSensationevery time lajoie flips, reddick wins.
They’ve ran these before in the early 2000s. Cars still flipped! Engineers have said multiple times the only way to truly keep a car from flipping is having it below rollover speed. In current cars that’s 175.
Haven’t these been a part of the package since then?
@@BladeBrigade7 to be honest they may have been. I know they ran them a lot before the COT came along. Not sure if they continued after that.
@@BladeBrigade7 I believe only on the left side, not the right side
They’ve had one fin for a long time. They’ve not run two before
They’re trying real hard to keep these cars on the ground
But they are looking at the wrong spot I wonder if it’s going to take longer to figure out that the problem is the underbody look at how long it took them to understand that the COT wing was the problem
@@johnathanjohnson5367the underbody is a scapegoat. Plenty of cars got airborne before that was a thing as well.
It doesn’t seem like a lot to help, but we just have to be open-minded and hopeful that these guys know what they’re doing
Appreciate trying something, and letting the fans know.
As long as the right side doesn’t extend past the rear window and down on to the deck lid I think that’ll be fine
Do they even bother to look at the underbody?
I agree I guess they still haven’t learned anything from the COT wing
F1 had a similar issue back in the mid 70s to early 80s, you ever hear about the ground effect? yeah welcome to making bricks fly baby.
Here’s a problem the flat bottom creates almost a plane wing. The diffuser allows for air get trapped especially with the diffuser flap, thus causing the car to flip
That’s the problem why
@@noahgreaser1213think why the COT wing caused problems because when air gets under it it lifts the rear end up which makes the cars go airborne now it’s the underbody doing it. Nascar can probably keep that second fin but that underbody has to go
Until you do something about diffusers and flat underbodies they’ll keep flipping
The underbody is the issue not only it traps the exhaust heat which goes up into the cockpit instead of going down now these cars flipping easily because of the underbody guess still haven’t learned why the COT wing was a problem because it did the same thing it didn’t make downforce it caused the cars to easily lift when the air gets under it now it’s the same with the underbody
@@johnathanjohnson5367 jesus yall just spew the same diarrhea all day dont ya
The roof flaps are basically useless now. When they were developed, the cars had the aerodynamics of a pair of pliers, so they could immediately sense the vacuum and deploy. Now the cars are so smooth in the air the flaps sometimes don’t even deploy.
The underbody is the issue in my opinion I didn’t like it for the fact that it traps the exhaust heat in between so basically the heat goes up into the cockpit and that’s one reason why I didn’t like it now this is second reason because it makes the cars flip easily I guess basically hasn’t figured out why the COT wing was a bad idea because now here we are again but this time it’s the underbody
Lajoie’s gonna Preece, Dillon’s gonna be in the catchfence, and Todd Gilliland will win.
Didn’t we have these before? Why’d they remove them
just wait for preece or lajoie to spin out on the backstretch and take off like Space Battleship Yamato
I imagine that once the car gets to a certain angle the shark fin could prevent the air pulling the flaps up, making it more likely to flip
Alright, that’s cool. Keep the changes towards the aero side and do not touch the engine. We the fans appreciate that.
I want 900HP not this
NASCAR do all you want all the fans want is speed and a chance of flips
Not tryna see Larson in the catch cage of turn 4, triple homicide
Shark fins used to be standard
When did they remove those from the car? They had them on Gen 6 cars. Also 195mph at a track where they used to hit 215mph. Where did it go wrong?
