    That’s why you need a switch to open it up on straightaways. Tuck it back in around the turns

      I was referring to nose down, rear up!

      One national driver told me they will spend whatever it takes to get it there!

        Less blade, no splitter, no downforce. The cat is gone. The posture is only to take advantage of aero. There is no suspension advantage and it actually creates issues that people gain speed by fixing.

          I made a post on Twitter last night when that happened about how Chilton was about to show us a cost effective way to unstick the cars after that happened. My 20 followers seen it 😂

            lol.......i was waiting for him to knock the wall down on that restart!

            Makes me wonder if race control notifies a driver that he has lost his spoiler or any other major damage!

              I told my wife to watch that car when it came off, it's gonna be backwards. Now imagine all the cars lost the spoiler. Even Shane McDowell thinks doing something about the spoiler would be a zero cost benefit to the sport.

                removing the actual spoiler would be just the start..the whole car is a spoiler from the filler panel back. FLAT DECKS!

                  No need at Eldora, they have the big screen to look at. He obviously knew he was done. He tiptoed I to 1 and still slid pretty good.

                    Felt bad for Weiss last night after the droop rule cost him a win. Seems like a stupid rule to me when something like shock/spring compression speed can cost you..or is it a discriminatory thing depending on who you are?

                      The high profile teams in the WoO may have been getting away with it for quite a while . . .
