NASCAR president Steve Phelps was the keynote speaker on Tuesday during the Race Industry Week webinar live stream and discussed, amongst other topics, potential changes to the NASCAR Xfinity Series platform.
The second-tier national touring division is one of the most exciting platforms in motorsports with its traditional live axle suspension, narrower tires and generally reduced power to weight aerodynamic ratio.
“I think we’ll continue to fine-tune what that car is,” Phelps told host Brad Gillie. “And it’s an industry-wide thing. It’s not just, ‘Hey NASCAR’s going to do this, this, and this.’ It really is working with our (manufacturer) partners, working with Goodyear, working with our race teams. And we’re in constant collaboration with those groups, with those stakeholder groups.
