The Dodge Charger Daytona was the first car to break 200 mph (321 kph) in a NASCAR race and ended up winning so many races that NASCAR banned it and its sibling, the Plymouth Road Runner Super Bird

Back when NASCAR cars looked like real street cars.
Thanks for sharing!

NASCAR and the NHRA both never blatantly ban anything, unless it a blaten rule breaker. They just handicap the crap out of them

All done in the intent of creating a level playing field. Nothing has ever been banned, just rule changes to even the completion. A good thing. It's still a constant issue but was much more prevalent back in the day of the aero cars and the hemi.
It's a business. Let one competitor dominate and the others will stop coming. Result ... loss of revenue

I liked it better when the cars actually resembled street cars.
But, some awesome aerodynamics there.

Guess NASCAR does not give a crap about the FCA revenue. They will be out of business in 10 years anyway unless someone with a brain steps in to run it. The NHRA is just a dumb bully, when they decide something there is no amount of argument that changes their mind. When Nitromethane became popular they went on a fuel ban and almost lost their ***. When the Hemi dominated Pro stock, rules that teams and manufacturers agreed to and presented to the NHRA to create another pro class. By the second season they completely changed the rules to make the SBC a frontrunner (original rules were to a 500" limit and production bodies). When Bob Glidden began to dominate first in a small Ford then a small Chrysler then back in a Ford again suddenly small blocks we're factored up and out. Currently there is no one running anything but a Chevrolet in Pro stock. 5 years ago it had diversity, 6-7 years ago it had anyone could win. No move has been made to control Chevrolet domination of Pro Stock.
In sportsman side, a few years back when Chrysler actually made a car to fit a class (the V10 dragpack Challenger). Being as we were pulling the engine out of our supercar, GM decided to pull their engine from their supercar (the Corvette supercharged 6.2) then Ford put their Shelby in the mix. The supercharged engines of course kick the cat pee out of the NA V10 no real breaks at all couple pounds put out of the Mopar is all.
Along comes Hellcat and Demon (real production cars I might add) not a engine ripped out of your supercar or a aftermarket company you sell on your dealers lots. Anyway car still does not work, but with no crying Dodge gets to work to figure it out. With the help of their racers Super Stock backrounds and topfuel car owners they find what they need and start winning, even breaking some records first, (first sub 8second factory stock car) starting way back at the rear remember. Ford and Chevy had more years to get in the 7s. Later in the year at a Chevrolet sponsered event the Ford and Chevrolets we're all out in the first round, by mid week they lost 50# we gained 50#
Then people wonder why Street Outlaws is a higher rated show than coverage of a NHRA national event.
Yeah, it's fair in the name of competition.

My fault. Sorry about that. It just brought to mind the days when Mopar was kicking a**. I'm sure it helped their sales a lot.
