With current new tracks and also a brand-new car on the way, NASCAR has revealed a desire for advancement. But they may have something unmatched in store.
Throughout the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series period, the word “brand-new” has almost shed its novelty. This season, we’ve seen the debut of brand-new teams, new vehicle drivers, new tracks and also brand-new proprietors.
NASCAR has actually shown a clear wish for technology and brought a fresh item on and off the track in a season that is being proclaimed as the Racing.
With all the “brand-new” coming into the sporting activity, there clearly needs to be some “old” going out. This period, we saw Bristol Electric motor Speedway lose a concrete race for a new dust race.
We saw numerous roadway course races included in the routine, consisting of one at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway roadway program to change the typical Brickyard 400 at the oval, and we saw several ovals wiped off the schedule, consisting of Chicagoland Speedway and also Kentucky Speedway. We also saw the enhancement of Nashville Superspeedway.
Germain Racing as well as Leavine Family members Competing are now defunct, but Trackhouse Competing Team and 23XI Competing have actually gotten here with Chevrolet and also Toyota, specifically, to take their place.
As kept in mind, the electric series would certainly be a friend series and also would certainly not change the Mug Series as the premier racing league for NASCAR drivers.
The record likewise takes place to state that despite the Next Gen cars and truck set to debut following year, the electric series would be “very not likely” to begin at the same time, making 2023 the earliest possibility for an inaugural period.
While NASCAR decreased to talk about the opportunity of an all-electric series, president Steve Phelps did mention in February that an exhibition collection is something NASCAR could explore.
While only time will certainly tell on whether or not Racing. something this brand-new and also cutting-edge will be introduced, it should be noted this would not be a first in motorsports. The FIA, the governing body of Formula 1, have been running an electrical collection, Formula E, given that 2014.
