NASCAR Adds A-Post Flaps to Keep Cars Grounded at Drafting Tracks
In an effort to reduce the amount of flips that we’ve seen in the Next Gen era at drafting tracks, NASCAR is adding a new tethered flap to race cars heading into next month’s Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway.
NASCAR Cup Series teams heading to drafting tracks will now outfit their cars with new A-Post Flaps, similar to roof flaps, but they are affixed to the car’s A-Post, which runs in front of the driver and passenger side windows of the car.
NASCAR revealed the new flaps in a NASCAR Rule Book update on Wednesday afternoon.

Kyle Crump Wins Masters of the Pros 200; Keelan Harvick Remains Perfect Against Kevin Harvick
Kyle Crump took the win in Wednesday night’s Masters of the Pros 200 at Owosso Speedway, after overcoming an engine change to pull off the prestigious short track win. Crump topped 13-year-old Keelan Harvick for the race win.
Keelan didn’t take home the $25,000 prize for winning the race, but he did take the head-to-head win over his legendary father Kevin Harvick. The elder Harvick finished 18th in the 30-car field after being crashed in an incident with Dan Leeck on Lap 189.
“He cleared himself and I was out there,” said Kevin Harvick. “Wrecked us both. I hate it for everyone on the Rackley WAR Hunt Brothers Pizza team. We had a lot of fun. I just really want to thank the racetrack, crowd, CRA for putting on a great race. I had a great time.”
Keelan Harvick has now taken a decisive 4-0 lead over Kevin in the eight-race “Harvick Cup fueled by Hunt Brothers Pizza”.
