NASCAR Nationwide question!!!

I love watching F1, the Indy series, and other sports cars events, but due to circumstances, most of my viewing is of NASCAR Cup.

Been following pretty close the last few years. Jeff Gordon is my man, but when that doesn't work out, I'm happy for what Biffle (geographic buddy)
can do, like Mark Martin.

So lately, I'm following the Nationwide series closer than ever. Part due to Danica curiosity, (she does fairly well on road type courses) to see how well Kyle (54) double dips, and seeing how well Joe Nemochek does, as in cup, I mostly see him start, and park.

What is bothering me is that I see the Challenger, Mustang, and the near ready 2013 Camaro with their retro look receded grilles/headlight look, and am somewhat baffled looking at the MORE aero Camry front end wondering about the aero parity???

Sure I know about the body wraps, and some details are merely air brushed on, but on TV; they actually look like normal grilles. It is possible that the Camry Nationwide has to show more grille teeth than the Cup car; but still: to me with the flush headlight LOOK; it still appears the Camry would have a great advantage!!???

Would the powers that be just make those Camry's carry more ballast weight to even the playing field, or am I just losing my mind???

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tape over the grill, and those paint jobs are probably playing tricks on you.
