NASCAR adopts two rule packages without restrictor plates
NASCAR will use two tailored rule packages next season with no restrictor plates at Daytona and Talladega for the first time since 1987. A thicker tapered spacer aims to slow Cup cars, reduce horsepower from 750 to 550 at 21 oval races, while shorter tracks retain current spacers. The Daytona 500 opener remains with current configurations, then spacers only at Daytona and Talladega. Team officials say the changes should boost passing and drafting and improve throttle response without universal pack racing.
