NASCAR 75: No. 66 in a series of 75 stories that helped define the first three quarters of a century of NASCAR.
The Next Gen was perhaps unlike any other car ever built for NASCAR. It was not only racy, it borrowed significantly from sports car racing including extensive improvements in aero and downforce packages, cost effectiveness was built in, there was greater interchangeability of parts and extending their durability and shelf life, so to speak.
The Next Gen car was originally set to debut in the 2021 season-opening Daytona 500. But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in February 2020, NASCAR realized it would have to put off its development plans and further testing and ultimately delay introduction of the new ride for one year to 2022.One significant aspect of the development of the Next Gen car was how, from 2019 through 2021, numerous drivers were given the opportunity to take part in tests of the new car.
And even after the Next Gen was put into play full-time to start the 2022 season, continued testing took place throughout the season, including drivers such as Bubba Wallace, Chastain, Custer, Kyle Busch, Daniel Suarez and Aric Almirola.
