Drivers lost several laps under that procedure, where in the past, they might lose one.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mgn-top-20-btm-20 ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt88 mgn-top-20-btm-20 article-content\" data-v-cdf3fb30=\"\">The issue is that the tires don\u2019t have inner liners. The cars have a similar circumference as last year, but the wheels are 18-inch wheels instead of 15-inch, which means there is less area to put an inner liner, and the wheels aren\u2019t designed for them. Combined with the cars sitting so low, the Next Gen car is much more difficult to drive with a flat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mgn-top-20-btm-20 ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt88 mgn-top-20-btm-20 article-content\" data-v-cdf3fb30=\"\">This isn\u2019t a huge surprise.
