🏁 NASCARonNBC is set to return this weekend at Nashville Superspeedway. Here’s everything to know as NBC takes over to broadcast the final 20 NASCAR races.
Prior to the 2022 season, NASCAR introduced the Next Gen car after running the Gen 6 car since 2013. The new car had numerous advancements, including an updated aero and downforce package, composite bodies and a new wheel design, among other things.
The main goal of the car was to cut costs for teams, who don’t need to spend money developing chassis. With the new rules package, the cars became more difficult to drive, placing an emphasis on individual skill. According to Kligerman and Ryan, the new car has accomplished just that. “As a driver, you almost have to drive it to the point where it's on the edge of wrecking, mentally note that spot and then just try to drive to that mental note every single time,” he explained. “It's like a golf swing, right? You've got to mentally know how the golf swing goes through and then try to reapply it. Every time we're doing that, at 180 miles an hour, every lap, every corner.
To Kligerman and Ryan, there has been one clear breakout team of 2022: Trackhouse Racing. Co-owned by Pitbull and Justin Marks, Trackhouse has asserted itself in just its second season – with three wins, 10 top-fives and 15 top-10s between its two drivers, Chastain and Daniel Suarez. Beyond Trackhouse, the usual powerhouse teams are still in the mix. Hendrick Motorsports, led by 2020 champion Elliott and, has all four of its teams locked into the playoffs with wins. But for Ryan, one Hendrick driver stands out above the rest.
