Current Solution Is Deemed “Not Acceptable” as Kyle Larson’s Notes From Crunch NASCAR Meeting Strongly Back Denny Hamlin’s Radical Stance

It’s not very often that almost all the top-name entities in a sport come together to criticize an aspect of the sport itself. But this is exactly the case in NASCAR currently with drivers like Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Chase Elliott, and Kyle Larson all singing in the same key, the song against the Next Gen car.

In fact, not only is the fact common that they’re all united in their criticisms, but some of the things they’re saying are also pretty similar.

Just consider what Kyle Larson recently said and how it fits with Denny Hamlin’s suggestions.

Ahead of the Cup Series race at ROVAL, the defending champion opened up on NASCAR, being “in a box” with the Next Gen car.

“They’re obviously working on things but they are in a box with this car being quite a bit different than the previous car but they’re working towards trying to make things a little bit better on it,” he said. “Still, what they’ve learned is not as good as what the previous car still, but it’s a decent improvement so that side of things is good.”

Larson described how the rear of the new car is “much shorter” than the Gen 6 car which was only natural considering NASCAR’s priorities while designing it.

“There is a box they’re trying to work within,” he added.

Larson’s pointers incited the NASCAR fans to further their criticisms of the new car as many of them suggested they go back to the old Gen 6 car considering the tricky situation with this one.

The comments from Denny Hamlin which Kyle Larson echoed as well

Ahead of the race at Talladega last weekend, Denny Hamlin who has been on the front line in the criticism army against the Next Gen car, made a rather huge suggestion in order to ‘fix’ things.

“The car needs to be redesigned,” Hamlin said. “It needs a full redesign. I mean, it can still be called Next Gen, but it needs to be redesigned. It needs to be redesigned everywhere — front, middle, rear, competition.”

“The whole thing needs to be redesigned.”

With that said, do you think NASCAR can actually redesign the Next Gen car completely? Or will it continue to be the way it is with some damage control measures installed?
