I think that NASCAR tries to spec a lot of items to reduce the game playing. I "think" I read somewhere that the wheels were spec and tightly controlled. There have been times when one team has taken tires and wheels from an entirely different team when tires were short for some reason.
Much of the body contour is also spec. requiring that they shape pass a template test. There are still a few areas where there are slight openings for innovation. Driving skill, pit strategies, and luck are the huge variables.
