Joey Logano's take on the toughness of Next-Gen cars
Joey Logano spoke about the trend amongst the NASCAR drivers to be more aggressive on the track even if it takes hitting your rival. While speaking on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, Logano said that Next Gen cars are designed in a way that will be equal for all drivers.
The switch from steel to carbon fibre made the cars heavier which helps them absorb the impact from bigger hits. It also helps in sustaining much of the damage.
"It's changed because of the car...The car accepts so much contact like leaning on each other is something that is just part of the game. And when you’re going down into Turn 1 and you have cars that are tougher now. The bumpers are stronger than they were," Logano said.
"Now the bumpers are bulldozers. When you go to your local little go-kart track and they got the big bumpers all the way around it, what ends up happening? You guys clobber each other. We have cars like that now; we have cars that are just tough," Logano concluded while comparing the cars to go-kart racing.
