Since the adaptation of the Next Gen car in 2022, the playing field in the NASCAR Cup Series is probably as even as its ever been. However, there has been one l
ingering problem with the car that has frustrated everyone within the sport. Beginning this weekend, NASCAR is allowing Cup Series teams to have the option to install a new component to help in situations, where cars get stuck on the track with flat rear tires.
NASCAR sent out a media bulletin on Thursday that states teams will be able to run an Ohlins rear damper, which will include a lift to help cars with flat rear tires return to pit road. According to the bulletin, the new design will replace the stock lower shaft end of the shock absorber with a new lift actuator.
Once the car arrives back in its pit stall, team members will be able to lower the car back to its standard height by pulling the valve. NASCAR attched a photo of the valve that will be placed in the A-posts of the cars that choose to utilize the Ohlins rear damper, which includes the lift.
