Overview

• Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson, among others, criticize NASCAR for not increasing horsepower at short tracks, citing it as a solution to improve racing.
• Daniel Suarez's crew chief, Matt Swiderski, argues that simply adding horsepower won't solve the issues due to strict NASCAR rules on car uniformity.
• Swiderski emphasizes the nostalgia of higher horsepower but acknowledges the challenges in achieving significant improvements under current regulations.
• The debate is fueled by recent races, including a historic 3-wide finish by Daniel Suarez, which some attribute to the lower horsepower.
• Despite some support for the new aero package, drivers like Kyle Larson remain skeptical about its effectiveness in enhancing short-track racing.
