This article will discuss the inspection process, Next Gen cars, restrictor plates and the future plans for NASCAR. It will also provide information on the cars' performance as well technology and the best places to get them. The next generation NASCAR racecars is made from carbon fiber reinforced, plastic. These cars will be used on both the Talladega-Daytona superspeedways.
Next generation cars will feature carbon fiber reinforced plastic
A new specification for the seventh-generation NASCAR car is being developed. Many teams expect that the Next Gen car will make greater use of carbon-fiber and may have an all composite body. Instead of the traditional structure of a body-on frame, the Next Gen car could be constructed with a tub of carbon fibre. Both of these materials would be more durable and lighter than sheetmetal.
These Next Gen cars will look more like production cars than ever. Toyota Camry will no more be wrapped in stickers making it appear as a four-door. Actually, the car will be symmetrical. Because the driver's side will be higher than that of the passenger, it will create more side force. However, NASCAR officials hope that these cars will attract a younger audience to the sport.
Restrictor plates will be used at Talladega and Daytona superspeedways
NASCAR will be using restrictor plates in 2019 at its Talladega supersphearways and Daytona supersphearways. These superspeedways measure 2.66 miles and 2.5 miles, respectively. They joined NASCAR's circuit in 1988, and 2004 respectively. Both were banned from stock cars previously due to speed limits. NASCAR changed this in 2018.
In the beginning, restrictor plates consisted of plates with intake holes. They were not perfect. Actually, their holes changed over the years. NASCAR teams then began to play a cat-and_mouse game in an attempt to get a competitive edge. Because it was so simple, scratches and other flaws were easy to find. A taper spacer was invented to address this issue. The taper gapr was first used at Daytona. Since then, other tracks have been used to test it.
Inspection
NASCAR has tightened the controls on inspections of cars participating in its races. Officials will crack down on any team that breaks the rules in order to give everyone an equal chance of winning. The cars won't be subject to inspection, but officials will be busy for the two days leading up to the race. They will continue to inspect cars until they are removed from their haulers. Here is a closer look at NASCAR's inspection process for cars.
Next year's process includes three stations: chassis/engine, templates/LIS, and engine. The last station will have eight projectors as well as 17 high-definition camera. This station will assess skew, weights and body conformity. Each scan will be colored-coded, and additional inspection may be necessary in certain areas. The new inspection procedure for NASCAR cars will take place on two tracks.
Future of NASCAR
The Future of NASCAR is hot right now. But, who will be next to drive the Cup cars in the Cup cars? Will it be female or minority? There is much controversy around the decision to increase the number of women in the driver roster. The next generation of drivers will answer that question. For example, a NASCAR team with a woman would have more diversity than one with a man.
NASCAR will have to change its metric system from miles per hour to kilometers by 2040 when foreign race car drivers are expected. Pit crews will add fuel to electric cars and young professional drivers will race plasma powered hovercars on other worlds. By that time, the sport will have changed dramatically. So, what can we expect for the Future of NASCAR? Let's look at some of the challenges that lie ahead.

- This change may give an improvement of up to 29% fuel efficiency. (en.wikipedia.org)
- According to thepostgame.com, “The Daytona 500 is one of four ‘restrictor plate' races on NASCAR's calendar, given both safety and competitive concerns for the long track and its famous 31-degree banking in its four corners.” (defensivedriving.com)
