Earlier this week, NASCAR officials hinted at the possibility of increasing horsepower from 670HP to 750HP, at least for short tracks. And it could potentially happen before the end of the 2025 season.
“It’s on the table,” NASCAR senior vice president of competition Elton Sawyer told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “We are working closely with all the stakeholders in the industry and the collaboration has been better than ever in our sport on all topics. This particular one, [we] had a team owner council meeting last week, came up and we discussed that. Working closely, I know John Probst [senior vice president of innovation and racing development] had a conversation with our engine builders to see what we could do, how that would look and what changes would need to be made.
