Not only that, it should go back to using cars like the auto MANUFACTURERS design, not what NASCAR dictates. If I wanted to watch IROC racing, I'd watch IROC racing -- all cars alike, all set up the same. That's why I lost interest in NASCAR several years ago -- when everything about it became fake. At least into the early '90s, cars had to have real hoods, roofs and trunk lids and the rest of the car had to fit in templates from the MANUFACTURERS, not NASCAR.

Yeah, if not the whole body, even the engine would be nice, so that at least you can say the soul of the car, hence Mopar when they can wrestle one away from Hendrick, and the others, won the race. Not some mill produced by a NASA off shoot powered a titanium tubed, "stock car" around the oval.
NASCAR used to drive innovation in performance and safety in production cars...not so much now.
Of course, it would be funny if people started putting their HANS on before getting in their commuter cars every morning.

RE: Your take on NASCAR
I can't really say that running stock engines is the answer. Toyota doesn't even produce a push-rod V/8 for passenger cars so NASCAR or is it JAPCAR (I know, not politically correct) lets Toyota develop a completely new engine just for the series? It's now all about BIG money and that's it. It is no longer about the cars or manufacturers and innovation. This is a spec series just like IROC, and they've made this once avid follower a rather disinterested occasional viewer if there's nothing else on tv on a rainy or otherwise crappy Sunday afternoon
