Can anybody explain to me why NASCAR developed the COT? What was the reason for producing this ugly creation. Did they want to slow the cars down? Did they want them to look and perform like the Craftsman Trucks? If that was the case I think you will see race cars that will be much looser, harder to drive and you will have more accidents. That being said, the racing will probably be closer and more competitive right to the end f the race, like in the truck series.
In terms of looks they took a step backwards because of the front diffuser and rear spoiler. Do all the spoilers have to be black? Does NASCAR issue them to all the race teams or do they develop them individually? Sorry for pleading ignorance here but I hope this change to the COT will be a step in the right direction. If it gets NASCAR closer to ridding the series of restricter plates than I am all for it. But for now the jury is still out. Why are they only racing them in 16 races this year and I think 26 next year? How are the lesser funded teams going to be competitive if they have to develop and race two different cars? They should have waited until they could have started a full season with it, because now it's costly and just plain confusing.

I agree with you that it is ugly but they should just go ahead and race it at every track. The big teams are still going to be up front but it will help the smaller teams save money and hopefully compete.
