Interesting! NASCAR uses the cowl Just beneath the windshield as the location for the air intake and have done so for many years. Do not know if that is an actual rule or for aerodynamic advantages. That being said, i assumed that considering the millions NASCAR spend on aerodynamics, that the cowl would be the best place to locate the air intake. Side note, a high school class mate of mine later when on to earn a phd in aerodynamics and was the first aerodynamic engineer hired by a NASCAR team way back in the 1990’s. He is a wee bit proud of his degree and insists on being referred to as “Doctor”, (His last name), even when in informal or casual situations.
