NASCAR to modify Cup cars for 2011
NASCAR will make modifications to the Sprint Cup Series car for the 2011 season. At a meeting on Oct. 19, following the races at Lowe's Motor Speedway, manufacturers were told changes would be made "from the centerline to the bumper on down," a source familiar with the situation told FOXSports.com. The alterations will be made to the front fascia - the upper and lower nose of the car. Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton said "there was a good open dialog" with manufacturer representatives to discuss what aesthetic changes could be made to the car to improve brand identity. The current car has come under scrutiny from competitors and fans alike for having less resemblance to a showroom model than previous editions.

Sure hope they get rid of the "cow-catcher" or "poop-spreader" on the nose and get the front end back to something like the Nationwide cars ... maybe they can take the "pie-rack" of the deck lid while they're at it ...

If I wanted to repeat myself I would suggest that NASCAR race stock cars.
But I don't want to repeat myself.

Nascar does nothing but talk, they never listen to the consumer of their products so they can keep and the few hundres that still watch it. Have at it!

The only thing that will make 2011 any different than 2005-2010 is if NASCAR makes Jimmie Johnson's car drag a pair of cinder blocks behind it... Car of Tomorrow, Car of Yesterday, Car of Next Thursday, it doesn't matter - the 48 just keeps winning!

This race would probably be more exciting if NASCAR would make the care remote control -- just like Predators and Reapers ...

After watching the 39 car take off -- maybe NASCAR needs to rethink the "pie-rack" on the deck lid ... you aren't gonna' convince me that piece of work didn't help the car lift off like it did...I did find out that anvil launching is more fun to watch the dega...LOL

Too little...Too late. A real and substantial changeswould be for Brian France to resign and never have any involvement in NASCAR again! He has screwed up this once great sport almost beyond repair. His wonderful COT almost got Ryan Newman killed! That great rear "wing" flipped the 39 like a hot flap jack in fryin' pan! Great idea BF!!!
