One thing that did become evident during the Daytona test was that tandem drafting was much more fraught with risk with the Gen-6 cars. The CoT essentially had flat front and rear bumpers, so that if cars lined up square, the push was essentially longitudinal. The new car, though,has a much more rounded front bumper, which makes it far easier to push the rear of the car ahead out-of-line; hence Jr. inadvertently wrecking Ambrose in session 4. It will be interesting to see just how much effect this will have upon drafting patterns, particularly at the two plate tracks.
