I actually am leaning more towards standard car chassis (the exterior needs to be a little more like what's on the street), power-plants switch to a standardized fuel injection, Nascar provides the computers, all have to use the same generic box (limit RPMs to 6-6500rpms so the cost of development and building would allow privateers to enter). Keep all weight restrictions the same and allow these guys to race not on budgets but on talent. Then if a Ford wins 10 in a row, it was the driver, not the budget or the team alone that got it done.

If Nascar doesn't do something soon, it will be left with 15-20 teams with budgets and 10or so teams that just drive in the back of the field with no hope of ever winning, regardless of the quality of the driver for either group. That is why I like the different racing offered by Mazda, standard cars (open wheeled or their Miata's) where the drivers control the race, not the budget.
