Next Sunday at Martinsville marks the return of the rear deck lid spoiler. That means this Sunday's race at Bristol will be the final Cup race ever contested with the ill-fated rear wing. We want to know if you agree or not with NASCAR going back to a rear spoiler -- albeit a taller, wider spoiler at that.
Jerry Bonkowski says: It's about time. Like a bad marriage, the rear wing and the COT just did not mesh. And the way the wing caused cars to frighteningly get airborn if they were hit from behind at over 160 mph -- let's not forget Carl Edwards and Ryan Newman at Talladega, and as recenlty as last week with Brad Keselowski at Atlanta -- we may be avoiding a potential disaster just in time. I commend NASCAR for realizing the wing may have been great in concept, but not in execution.
So, let's hear your thoughts: IS NASCAR DOING THE RIGHT THING BY GETTING RID OF THE REAR WING ON CUP CARS?

Getting rid of the Wing and adding Back the Spoiler is good for the Aero of the car But that isnt proven on this Cot car either The spoiler was a pre Cot "part" which did Work well as it does on street cars .The problem of Airborne will Not be solved by that as many beleive The aeros of this cot needs reworking including the shark fins and the over all dynamics ,as long as we use a "square"car the box can be tipped From many angles .One of the most important parts of the airborne debate is being the driver that gives the "blow" stays into the car pushing more air up under it So its as much driving as it is aero problem .Bring back the old style cars many Say But they are no longer Made the good ole days are gone Now is the time to flatten tracks more ,pull fans back,stop trying to play with top end speed ,and get a more aero dynamic racing vehicle.
