Changes coming to improve the Car of Tomorrow?

Drivers says NASCAR officials are telling them now changes are coming with controversial Car of Tomorrow, but no one seems to know what NASCAR might do, or when. "I think they're going to go look into the engines — to maybe reduce horsepower," Denny Hamlin says. "Maybe do something to the cars…but it's tough to say whether they're going to add downforce or take it all away. But I think they are going to make changes to the car. And I think it's going to be after a lot of meetings with team engineers and finding out what we need to do to make them better."

Two of the biggest problems with the new COT is — that it doesn't want to turn in the corners, so teams are doing really far-out things with the chassis to help it turn (once reason apparently for some of the Dover tire issues); and that it has such a high center-of-gravity and so much right-side weight that it eats up right-side tires.

Kyle Busch says "I'd like to see NASCAR do something to help these cars – either by taking 100 pounds out of these cars, or taking some right-side weight out. We've all gotten smarter in building these cars, and now we all have maybe 200 pounds of lead, or rather tungsten, in the car (as ballast)." mikemulhern.net
