I thought that too. Apparently they're still getting through inspection fine, or at least good enough to pass without having to change anything.

What gets me upset is that NASCAR continually told us that this car would be better in traffic and would be less aero-dependent, when in fact, it's just as, if not more, aero-dependent and still can't race in traffic. The dreaded "aero push" is still out there and catching someone is all you can do.
