The new piece will sit four inches atop the rear deck of all cars, measured from the centerline and fixed at 70 degrees. It'll be level across the top with a clearance of 43.52 inches from the top of the spoiler to the ground. The spoiler will be 64.5 inches wide and fabricated from 3/16-inch thick aluminum.
This is exactly what I don't like about NASCAR. They have 10 rules about every piece on the car. I am more of a "run what ya brung" type guy. Why can't they just say the max size of the spoiler is 4" by 64.5" and let the teams experiment and come up with their own formula that works best for their car and driver. The only thing they didn't specify is the colour of the thing.
NASCAR wants every car to be exactly the same so they have rules that leave virtually no room for innovation or ingenuity. Let's face it, if something new works, all of the other teams will copy the idea but a small rule book leaves teams with lots of room to try to make their car better than the others.
