During testing sessions, NASCAR’s Next Gen cars were driving at speeds between 185 mph (298 kph) to 190 mph (306 kph). However, NASCAR officials believed that, once teams got used to the cars, that they would drive faster. And they were correct to an extent, as the cars practicing during 2022 Speedweeks topped out at 193 mph (311 kph). These cars, ...
The NASCAR Next Gen car is slower than the Generation 6 car (2013-2021) and much slower than the old Generation 3 cars (1981-1991). The Gen 6 car regularly reached top speeds in excess of 190 mph, but the Next Gen car usually tops out below 190 mph at most tracks. During the middling stages of the Generation 3 car’s lifespan, we saw drivers begin t...
At the 2022 Daytona 500, the Next Gen cars raced at an average speed of 142 mph (229 kph). During the 2021 event, the race speeds were just 2 mph faster, at 144 mph (232 kph). However, the 2021 pole speed was 191 mph (307 kph), while the pole speed in 2022 was just 181 mph (291 kph). During practice for the 2022 Daytona 500, Michael McDowell reache...
While the Next Gen car made its road course debut at Circuit of the Americas (COTA), the NASCAR Cup Series raced there for the first time in 2021. Unfortunately, the race was a rainy affair (Cup Series cars may occasionally race in the rainon road courses), which means the top speeds weren’t representative. So, we will look at numbers from the 2022...
The fastest NASCAR car during an event reached a top speed of 213 mph (343 kph) at the hands of Bill Elliott during qualifying for the 1987 Winston 500 at Talladega. At the same track in 2004, Rusty Wallace reached a top speed of 228 mph (367 kph), but it was during an unofficial test session.
The first NASCAR cars were not much slower than the Next Gen cars when it came to the average speed during a race. The 1959 Daytona 500 saw an average speed of 135.5 mph (218 kph), just 6.5 mph (10.5 kph) slower than the average speed at the 2022 Daytona 500. However, the first NASCAR cars (1949-1966) were way slower around the track during qualify...
Slick Tires
One reason that NASCAR cars are able to go so fast is the fact they use slick Goodyear tires. The slick tires allow for more contact with the track, which in turn provides more grip, which leads to higher speeds. F1 also uses slick tiresfor this reason, as does IndyCar, and many other motorsports as well.
The Purpose-Built Engine
While NASCAR Next Gen cars resemble their street car counterparts better than ever before, one thing to rememberis thattheir engines are purpose-built for NASCAR instead of for the road, and you couldn’t put a NASCAR engine in a street car. These engines are larger than those in your average road car, with 358 cubic inches (5.9 liters) of displacement, capable of up to 670 HP.
The Design Of The Cars
NASCAR cars are also just designed to go fast. From the chassis to the spoiler, and from the underfloor to the lack of wing mirrors, everything about a NASCAR car is designed for speed, which means they’re fairly aerodynamic considering their large size.
As fast as some NASCAR cars have driven in the past, their speeds do not compare to those of F1 and IndyCar. One reason is that NASCAR cars weigh nearly twice as much as their F1 and IndyCar counterparts, and in auto racing, a lighter car is usually a faster car. Therefore, despite Rusty Wallace’s amazing feat in 2004 when he drove at Talladega, bo...
The NASCAR Next Gen car can reach speeds of up to around 193 mph (311 kph), which is slower than the Gen 6 car. With NASCAR focusing more on bringing the best possible racing product to the track, they focused less on speed and more on closer racing.
