That goes through NASCAR’s distribution center and NASCAR’s approval process to get those parts and we’re not getting the right parts.
“We have a CAD that has been submitted by the OEM and the OEM gives that CAD to NASCAR and it’s NASCAR’s responsibility to make sure that the parts we get fits that CAD,” Knaus said.NASCAR Senior Vice President for Competition Elton Sawyer said the louvers had been modified.
