Joey Logano provides insight into how NASCAR can enhance its performance to compete with Formula 1. Prior to the NASCAR Cup Series race at COTA, the Ford driver addressed various aspects that could potentially improve the sport and attract more Motorsports enthusiasts. One of the key suggestions put forward by the two-time Cup champion was to increase the horsepower, a demand that has been voiced by many drivers for a long time.
Joey Logano analyzed the disparity in horsepower between Formula 1 and NASCAR. He proposed that by increasing their horsepower from the current range of 700-800 to 1000, NASCAR can captivate both fans and drivers, making the sport more entertaining. Logano drew inspiration from the fact that F1 cars with 1000HP are competing at COTA, which is the only track shared by both premier open-wheel and stock car racing series.
Boosting the horsepower would undoubtedly make NASCAR faster and provide a more exhilarating viewing experience for fans. With this increase, spectators can anticipate even more thrilling racing displays and an overall heightened level of excitement.
As the COTA circuit is the sole venue that hosts both Formula 1 and NASCAR races, it naturally attracts a substantial number of Formula 1 fans. Ahead of the NASCAR Cup Series race, the Ford driver presented a compelling argument as to why Formula 1 enthusiasts should engage in NASCAR during the race weekend.
Logano emphasized the constant wheel-to-wheel action that Formula 1 fans can witness while watching NASCAR. Additionally, he highlighted the contrasting racing conditions between the two categories.
Furthermore, Logano made an interesting observation regarding the diversity of winners in NASCAR compared to Formula 1, where a single driver or team often dominates. Only time will reveal whether Formula One fans will be convinced by the statements of the Ford Mustang Dark Horse after witnessing the race at COTA this weekend.
