Looks kind of like the Kentucky/Darlington low-downforce package. If that was the starting point, then HYPE!

Looks like NASCAR finally learned that aerodynamics suck... at least for their style of racing. The less, the better. Enough of these cars that handle smoothly in clean air, but like dump trucks in dirty air.

Low downforce + super soft tires = fun times

My thoughts, as well. I think that aerodependency and lack of tire falloff have been two of the bigger factors in the degrading quality of the racing product of the cars at most tracks since the COT was introduced.

It's nice to see that these changes are being considered, and hopefully they will be implemented!
