“No Crappy Ass Parts!” Twitter reacts to Kevin Harvick’s wild idea to fix NASCAR short Track problem

Kevin Harvick

NASCAR cup cars, currently the Next-Gen cars, are built to maximize both efficiency and productivity so that the fans have the ultimate stock car racing experience on the tracks. Though both the drivers and fans want to see the cars go at the maximum pace they can generate, the safety of all the parties involved strips the possibility of such a thing happening.

The pace and other features that had evolved throughout the years in the cup series seem to be dampening the entertainment fans used to derive from the arcing experience. Stewart Hass Racing veteran Kevin Harvick has an idea that might revolutionize short-track racing as he wants NASCAR to introduce a crazy change in the coming All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway in 2023.

The veteran who was active on Twitter in the last couple of days proposed the idea that introducing 1000 Hp cars and lots of tires to use Tweeting ” My vote for the All-Star race is the 1000 HP package and lots of tires we have plenty of time to plan,”.

Kevin Harvick went on to point out that this idea can also be implemented in road courses Tweeting “Once you put 1000 HP on for short tracks there would be no going back. Would fix all short-track problems after about 5 laps. ; with where our engine shops are today we could run them multiple races. Short tracks and road course 1000 HP if I’m in charge for 2023,”.

NASCAR Twitter was quick to acknowledge and welcome the idea proposed by the former cup champion. They were also fans preposing ideas such as throwing out stage racing or removing the diffuser for short-track racing.

I'm not sure that aero is the issue at the short tracks. I don't know that the speed is high enough to create a lot of downforce. This car has much more mechanical grip than Gen 6. The tire is an inch and a half wider. That may not sound like much but it's significant in grip.

Build that car and test it then take it to nascar and show them what’s up. I’m all for power and tons of tires

MORE POWER BABY!!! Yes, these cars need to have more HP than the street cars they are modeled after.

The amount of speed that shit would generate and y'all driving in circles for hours would make you throw up violently lol

People wanna blame the tires of the aero package and everything else but really, more horsepower would solve basically every issue right now.

Why not? Probably because with the rough surface and lots of tires and HP y'all probably burn the car up real good then.

What we need is to allow the manufacturers to pick their own production based engines and build them to whatever hp they can maintain for a race with commercially available parts

OMG… I SAID THIS 20 YEARS AGO, RUN WHAT YA BRING, BUT IT HAS TO BE IN A SPEC CHASSIS!
500 inch motor, 7 speed trans, late model body, wide tires and wheels, nitrous (push-to-pass ya know), two seater, what ever man!

Wait. Does Kevin Harvick and I actually agree on something now?

Put the talent back into the driver's hands. ?
— AJ Flick (@CompleteChaos2) September 8, 2022

What would you think of 1,000 hp and low downforce freaking everywhere? Racing has gone downhill without off-throttle time. Then you have to be careful about getting the power down and burning rear tires, which will almost surely create tire deg

That's one way to thin the field ?… Crank up the HP then sit back and watch the ones that can't drive wreck going into turns 1 and 3

And no 10 lap stages. That track surface is a cheese grater on tires, and that just begs for long runs and tire conservation.
