The Dodge team introduced the 2pass radiator. Oriented front core then back core. To improve effectiveness and reduce the size of the required radiator opening =lower cd and more downforce. The team had an edge for 2-3 races. Then all teems were running them. Suspension of a mole. From article.
Then they Steped up there game and tryed to do a reverse air flow. But NASCAR ban the confidential idea before they could work the bugs out ,with a threat to ban the teem if they tryed something crazy like that agen.
I ran across the artical in Jan. made this suggestion:

Instead of blowing through the grill make it solid and vent behind a trip edge (basically a slightly oversized boddy gap on the perimeter of the grill). Into a low pressure zone . air flow is the result of pressure differential.

Alas, that’s all over and done now… a nice idea. Was the response. Threat of banishment kills a good Idea that could have worked its way into production cars.
