    Watch the NASCAR Championship Race this Sunday live on NBC at 3 pm ET!
    NASCAR is a uniquely American motorsport. It has always been about testing team and driver performance on as equal footing as possible. In this Science Garage, we took a field trip to Texas Motor Speedway for a behind the scenes look at the Science of Stock Cars. Bubba Wallace Jr let us know how the new rules feel on the track, and Parker Kligerman walks us around his car and tells us about all the little things teams do to get an edge in the race. It’s about aerodynamics, it’s about downforce and drag, and it’s about playing by the rules, while searching for the loopholes. NASCAR RULES!
    Bart teaches us how cars work buy blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.
    Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

      Sad fact is it will not happen. Car companies today do not make those cars. So do you just want 43 Chevy Camaro's racing each other each week? You can't have every thing your way. Other companies can compete and spend their money. That is what racing is all about.

      You can just drive on the highway if you wanna see that. I think Nascar has a bit of the same backwards mentality as hockey or the NFL where theyre always limiting horsepower, breaking up fights and restricting how you tackle people...ruining the fun! They should let them have as much horsepower as they want. The less rules, the more interesting it becomes to me....it makes it more about what you can come up with that gives you an advantage.

    New rules suck. They should bring back the homologation requirement. It would be much more interesting to me if Mustangs, Cameros, and Challengers/Chargers were out there duking it out. Require the full suite of safety equipment, and let the manufacturers bring the fastest car they can make. The brand wars used to be just as exciting as the drivers racing, that's what made NASCAR unique from most other racing.

      Que the manufacturers making aero cars, aka an front engined Aston Martin Valkyrie with a V8 that Americans won't buy because they don't like good cars.
      On a more realistic note they would probably use Corvette and Viper as a base (with different engines and mods) instead of the muscle/pony cars.

    • @usmcvet0313

      @@martinhubinette2254 possibly, depends how high they set the homologation requirement. If they make it high enough it will keep all the exotics out. It just depends what they want to race. Maybe they could make a couple different classes with different homologation requirements, so in one class you have cars racing that the average guy could afford, in another the exotics go toe to toe on the oval.

    • @DustinHasVideos
      @DustinHasVideos 5 лет назад +45

      Eric Jenkins they have been making the engines lower horsepower to lower costs. Also restrictor plates are only used in certain tracks where speed has been deemed too dangerous but on smaller tracks where you can’t go over 200 you can use the full power to help in restarts and leaving turns

    • @SoI_Badguy
      @SoI_Badguy 5 лет назад +46

      Because low budget teams won't be able to compete. The reason Hendrick won like 5 seasons in a row was because the cars were like 950hp, and all of the lower budget teams kept blowing up their engines, AND they were still making less power.

    • @Stevelangdon93
      @Stevelangdon93 5 лет назад +24

      Because by enforcing an engine "Spec" there's still huge room for improvement. As seen in the development race for the power units in F1, they all adhere to the same rules but the engines are far from equal. A restrictor plate is a surefire way to limit an engines output by limiting the air and fuel mixture, then the only variable is efficiency. If you were to enforce a BHP limit, teams could run huge amounts more torque as seen in the WRC. Add a torque limit too? you'd see the richer teams with far more desirable torque/HP curves.

    • @GP14Goat
      @GP14Goat 5 лет назад +16

      Because restricting the power 1.) makes the cars better to drive 2.) makes the cars safer to drive and 3.) allows the engines and drivetrain components to last several races due to them being “overbuilt”. There were probably 7-8 blown engines all year in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2018. With 37-40 cars per race over 36 races, each team doing well over 13,000 miles of racing IN ADDITION TO countless miles of practice and qualifying, the reliability of new NASCAR engines is unprecedented in Motorsports history.

    • @AstralStriderZ
      @AstralStriderZ 5 лет назад +23

      Eric Jenkins My reasoning is that it's better to use 70-80% of the power of an engine that can make well over 1000 HP than using 100% of an engine that can make 700-ish horsepower. It's all about endurance.

We didn't have to be loaded and/or a NASCAR driver to get the same experience, if that's what we were after. That's why I think homologation requirements are a good thing. I might actually watch stock car racing if I knew that the cars were ones I could actually buy, and not something dedicated solely to racing. It's part of the fun of watching rally.

      It’s a marketing thing. They want more attention on the more popular cars like in the 90s it was Monte Carlo, Ford Taurus and Pontiac grand prize. 2010s it was Chevy ss/impala, Ford Fusion and Toyota Camry. 2020 is mustang, camaro and Camry these were the big selling cars of those brands

      According to the driver interview I seen before of a driver that races F1 and NASCAR he said NASCAR was the far more driver demanding race. What needs to be adjusted on F1? Plug in the laptop and check the logs. What needs to be adjusted on a NASCAR? Ask the driver.

    Missed a fact at the beginning. The first Nascar race was actually in the Modified Division and was done right before Nascar Incorperated itself as a sort of "proof of concept" event to get as many smaller racing tracks and leagues to sign on to nascar as they could. The first Stock Car race was done after that.
    The modified Division was actually where the "bootlegger tech" comes from. That's the division where you had ambulance engines dropped into ford coupes to outrun the cops. Later in Nascar's life, the modified division was used as a sort of proving ground to see what should and shouldnt be allowed in stock cars.

    As someone that grew up sitting around with my extended family watching NASCAR after Sunday lunch in the 90s, the whole sport makes me nostalgic. I think I’d probably gotten more into it had it not been for the homogenization of the cars and the overly complicated rules. As an outsider, I find the science and history of the sport fascinating but can’t seem to make myself sit down and actually watch it.

      WALTERBROADDUS then they need to do more of that, because the classic oval tracks where for racing at super fast speeds, not dealing with cornering, and hitting apex’s
      where now with these new rules coming next season they are lower the #hrsprs and the top speed, and increasing downforce,
      Sounds like they should are thinking of changing up the formula by eventually in a few years adding more twisty tracks instead of the basic ovals
      Or what they could do is for the tracks that they go to twice in a season have one be the basic oval shape, and the other make twisty tracks, because i know Daytona can be both,
      They shouldn’t go crazy on the amounts of turns, 8 or 10 tops don’t turn this into F1
