or do you think that if you tell those guys that the bodies have to be the same shape to fuel cell can only be a certain size and a displacement can only be a certain amount that they'll just follow the rules without being checked?
check the winners (1-2-3) and 10-20% of the field. if you fail, you DQ. no money, no trophy, no points. do it more than once, you sit the next race.

Sooooooo...... you just described pretty much exactly what they do now and EXACTLY what happened to Harvick.

except he passed pre-race. the spoiler is not a hidden item. you can touch it, measure it. surely they have a template for checking something that important? and not just eyeball it and check it later if he wins. doesn't say much about their fancy laser measuring system.

or perhaps adopt a challenge/penalty system. instead of nascar checking cars, put the burden on the other teams. they know the tricks and who is suspected of "innovating". if a team thinks another team is breaking a rule, let them file a protest. if successful, the challenged team gets penalized. if the challenging team is wrong, they suffer the same penalty.

much like hockey handles stick challenges. the refs do not check every stick prior to or after a game. the opposing team can challenge any stick on the ice. if they are right, the offending team takes a 2 min minor. if the accusing team is wrong, they take a 2 min minor.

puts nascar in the judging seat, not the prosecuting seat.

what they are doing now is not working as far as the fan base is concerned.
