“Those different panels have had a lot of money spent on them to become better. I think NASCAR’s just trying to cut that down a little bit.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr also shared his thoughts on the NASCAR splitter. He’s had a long-standing dislike for the modern NASCAR splitter package.
“I’ve always disliked the splitters. All the teams race at the same max travel point. That removes some setup disparity and individuality,” Dale Earnhardt Jr stated via twitter.
