There are pretty strict restrictions on most aspects of the cars, even as much as to limit top speed for safety through various means, including aerodynamics.
Other than acceleration, I’m not sure that an EV would benefit much against a current NASCAR, unless they can find a way to get more range on a charge than there is with fuel.
And even though this is all pretty hypothetical right now, these racers crash a lot, and between the extra weight and explosiveness of batteries, I wonder if we’ll ever see EVs in NASCAR.
