When the Car of Tomorrow was introduced into NASCAR, it was met with sharp criticism from both the fans and the drivers. The initiative was brought under the then NASCAR top boss, Brian France. Recently, Dale Earnhardt Jr released a trailer featuring France where he was asked about the Car of Tomorrow.
When Junior asked, “You mentioned mistakes, would you say that the Car of Tomorrow was one of those?” France responded with a giant smirk.
Previously, France had publicly admitted that the Car of Tomorrow was a big mistake. Brian France has been a controversial figure in the NASCAR world. Aside from introducing the dreaded COT, France has also been heavily criticized for implementing the playoff system.
