So, some articles are saying pack racing needs to end. Imo, pack racing is safer than tandem racing. For one, if you crash and get turned into someone they are travelling relatively the same speed as you so impact speeds forces are not as high.

Alot of those idiots seem to not understand that outside of the road courses, pack racing is truly the best there is, as the racing everywhere else is inconsistent at best, terrible at worst.

However there is a valid point in cars being airbourne. That's a Gen6 issue however. I mean look at the thing - it's curved all over with a larger greenhouse area and longer larger bumpers which act as a larger net for the air to catch it. The COT may have had aerial issues with direct spins but sideways blow-overs? Never.

How many Gen6 plate track blow-overs / flips we had? Busch #78 a while back, the FRM guy yesterday, Harvick almost went upside down, Kenseth went over, Dillon skyward at Daytona last year, sure a few more major air moments. COT - Martin, Newman, and Edwards at Dega (However with the wing so doesn't count), Allmendinger in #43 2011, and errr... thats it? EDIT: #24 at Daytona.

I should've mentioned the flips, that is a valid point. That said, rollovers aside, those are rare, it is still the (second) best racing in NASCAR
 
Buescher's flip, Kurt Busch's flip from a couple of years ago, that sort of stuff they'll struggle to stop, as it happens to any car in any series. Just look at Craig Lowndes in the V8Supercars in 1999 at Calder Park, I know it quite old, but it's still the same sort of thing. It's the Kenseth sort of blowover that is the one they are attempting to eliminate. Although with the Kenseth one too, I doubt there would be any stopping that one, as the car got any when hit by Danica, the air instantly went under it and there was no stopping. It probably would happen to any race car at that speed.


I find kinda funny how NASCAR posted a video about roof flaps and keeping cars on the ground a little bit before this weekend, and they have one of the most wild weekends in a long time haha
