Modifications for Sunday’s Crown Royal 400 at The Brickyard will increase downforce, adding drag and creating a larger drafting slipstream off the rear of the cars that NASCAR hopes will help provide a more competitive race. A recent rules change at Kentucky speedway decreased downforce on the cars.
