Kyle Busch says there's a lack of respect on the race track, AJ Allemendinger knows why.
believes it’s the result of the parity that now exists in stock car racing’s top level.
Drivers say that between the Stage racing and parity of the cars, it’s tougher than ever to give up track position and not pay a price.Today, the parts used to assemble the NASCAR Cup cars are acquired from vendors designated by the sanctioning body, not fabricated in each shop with special tweaks incorporated into them. More than two dozen vendors are used for the parts ranging from chassis to clutch shaft, driveshafts and transaxle.
It’s the nature of the way we race now, right or wrong,” Allmendinger said. “It’s a unique thing to stock car racing. You use the front of it , use the sides of it, and you can get away with it. For the most part, kind of have at it. I think NASCAR racing in general right now is just super aggressive at every race track.
Prior to the introduction of Stage racing and parity in the vehicles, close finishes were often the exception more than the rule. Two-time NASCAR champion Ned Jarrett won the 1965 Southern 500 at Darlington, S.C., by 14 laps.Seven-time NASCAR champion Richard Petty won the 1974 Delaware 500 at Dover, Del., by three laps and 16 of the 40 cars that started the event were running at the finish.
