VÍDEO: Dale Earnhardt Jr. critica ideia de incorporar o “push to pass” da IndyCar na NASCAR.

IndyCar implemented the push to pass system for the first time in 2009.

Several drivers expressed dissatisfaction with the Next-Gen cars due to lack of power. Experienced veterans urged NASCAR to increase the power to around 1000HP, which would make overtaking easier on the straights. As a result, a debate emerged among a small group of fans about whether NASCAR should adopt the push to pass system used in IndyCar. However, not everyone is convinced by this proposal.

NASCAR has faced ongoing criticism for its insufficient power. In contrast, fans have expressed their disappointment with the lack of overtaking maneuvers and excitement during races. In response, NASCAR implemented changes such as single-nut pit stops and other adjustments. However, these efforts do not compare to the push to pass system introduced by IndyCar, which allows drivers to access additional power for a limited time, making overtaking easier.

This led fans to contemplate whether NASCAR should incorporate a push to pass system similar to IndyCar’s. However, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been a vocal critic and responded sarcastically. He suggested that if aids like push to pass were provided to drivers, they should also receive assistance with steering and brakes. Consequently, he rejected the suggestion with his sarcastic response.

No, what? Nah, man. If you can’t pass them, sorry, I’m not giving you assistance. And if they’re going to give a push-to-pass, they might as well give assistance with steering.

Push-to-pass in NASCAR? Get that out of here – next question!

The 49-year-old man got married in 2016 and the couple has already been blessed with two children. With Mother’s Day approaching, it was expected that the couple would celebrate motherhood in a notable way, and they certainly did.

The couple are co-owners of a high-quality vodka brand called High Rock Vodka. The NASCAR Hall of Famer then shared a recipe for the Lavender’s Bees Knees cocktail and suggested that families around the world prepare the cocktail and share it with proud mothers in their homes.

Additionally, the NASCAR community is gearing up for the race at Darlington. Furthermore, the 23XI driver will lead the pack from the start and is expected to secure the win, but will face challenges from experienced drivers behind him.
