Why are Nascar race cars shaped the way they are instead of a more aerodynamic shape?
Although NASCAR means stock car racing, the cars now do not represent the car on the label on the grill.
Before this "car of tomorrow" NASCAR teams were required to make a car body that kept certain dimensions of the car it was representing. Windshields had to be the same shape and angle, roof lines, hoods.. and so forth. body lines could be flattened out and lowered and other variants.
Now-every car is identical in shape which has no relation to the badge on the grill.

Is aluminum aerodynamic?
Aluminum is not inherently aerodynamic as it is a solid material. However, the shape and design of an object made of aluminum can be aerodynamic if specifically engineered for that purpose.
Why are bullets shaped like cones?
They are not shaped like cones, but their shape makes them more aerodynamic which increases flight speed and distance.
What are airplane wings shaped like?
Airplane wings are shaped like a bird's wing. They are thick at the front and thin at the back. This form of shape is more aerodynamic.
How is a fighter jet aerodynamic?
The shape of the aircraft makes it aerodynamic.
What does it mean to say you can be aerodynamic?
aerodynamic |ˌe(ə)rōdīˈnamik|adjectiveof or relating to aerodynamics : aerodynamic forces.• of or having a shape that reduces the drag from air moving past : the plane has a more aerodynamic shape.
What is the most aerodynamic shape possible for an object to minimize air resistance?
The most aerodynamic shape to minimize air resistance is a teardrop shape.
How does a squids shape help it swim?
The shape is very aerodynamic
Does the shape of a kite affect the aerodynamic flow?
yes
Why are solar powered cars shaped differently than gas powered cars?
Solar powered cars are shaped differently because 1. The cars need to be aerodynamic to move faster, and 2. The shape collects more sunlight to power the car
Why were the Great Pyramids designed to be shaped as a pyramid instead of another shape?
it would mean a step to heaven
Will the shape of a vehicle contribute towards its speed?
Yes an aerodynamic shaped car (Think racing cars) will go faster than one shaped like a box. This is because air flowing around the car induces drag, which consumes energy, slowing the car down. An aerodymamic shape is one that reduces drag.
What is the name of shape for bodies moving in fluid?
aerodynamic or streamlined
