Why?? If the drivers can't tell the difference, then who cares?
Would 20 mph extra really create THAT much more danger? 'Dega is flat and wide and smoooth. Let them run, the fences are reinforced, and taller, the spoiler will be back. Then again, maybe 20 mph is all the cars need to really take off.

If you have ever driven a street car above 150 you will notice it wants to flip over. Something about the grills and pressure changes inside the engine compartment make the cars front end very light.

Different issues. The 1st, going the right way at high speed, is removed or controlled by front spoilers, or "skirts".
The 2nd, is the airborne problem that occurs in NASCAR, and it's only when they get turned around and have the rear wing and all aerodinamics working "the wrong way".
For me the big problem is the cars shape in the rear. There is way too much space under that rear bumper. When you get turned around, that alone may channel enough air under it to make it fly. Maybe that's where they should put some air brakes or skirts?

You seem to contradict yourself. The 2nd is the real answer, you might not be so familiar with the reverse flying airplane becaust there is no such thing. Wings dont work that well when going backwards. The problem lies with the tall rear end and skirts. The old cars would lift the rear end but because they were smaller it was less air going in. Now with the bigger taller car there is more air feeding this parachute causing it to lift off. Only way to stop it is to get rid of the only thing keeping the cars on the ground in the first place.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was referring to front under bumper skirts, not the rear ones.
My car has a small front rubber skirt, wand when it came off the other day on a side walk (and I was too lazy to reattach it yet), the front became lighter and the car more sensitive to side winds at high speeds.
I'm really starting to lose interest in NASCAR. Nothing wrong with the series, just Jimmie Johnson. I never cared for him and still don't. It's turning into F1 just all the courses generally look the same. I'm still going to watch, but no where near the amount I use too. Hopefully the new wing will and something different.

Didnt catch the race, never like short track racing so it didnt realy bother me. Next weeks Ill watch just to get used to looking at the spoiler and keep my spoiler rampage going.
Just used a similar Grille mesh as the Monte Carlo.
