Earnhardt Jr.: NACAR not willing to produce better race car

Dale Earnhardt Jr. said Thursday that NASCAR’s “Car of Tomorrow” needs a tune-up. Earnhardt, who was in Atlanta to promote the Pep Boys Auto 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Labor Day weekend, said the car, which is now the exclusive vehicle on the Sprint Cup circuit, is safer than the previous car, but it’s not providing the close, competitive racing that fans have come to expect. But he said the problem can be fixed. “I feel like we can take this race car and make it provide [exciting] races,” he said. “If I can be honest, I feel like NASCAR has seemingly been reluctant to let this car evolve more freely.” — Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    I agree, COT is giving lots of the drives problems.

    I do know they are too top heavy, that’s the problem with excessive tire wear.

    I agree with Jr that the COT is not up to par, Racing is not like it use to b it does need to get more exciting and the car has been given more problems to the drivers this season than I have seen in the past.
