Elliott, whose family has deep roots in engine building, believes that increasing horsepower would force drivers to lift off the throttle more, making off-throttle time a critical factor for more competitive racing.

This sentiment resonates strongly after the recent race at Las Vegas Motor Speedwa, where many drivers, including Harvick, expressed frustration over qualifying speeds that left little room for skillful maneuvering.

Harvick has become one of the most vocal advocates for change, criticizing the current 670-horsepower limit as a key factor in uninspired racing.

The question now is whether NASCAR will heed these calls for reform or risk losing the very essence of what makes racing thrilling.

Will they take action before fans and drivers alike lose faith in the sport?

The former SHR driver’s frustration is deeply rooted in NASCAR’s history.

In the 1990s and early 2000s, engines regularly produced over 800 horsepower, creating thrilling battles on tracks like Atlanta and Charlotte.

These races demanded immense skill from drivers, who had to manage tire wear while navigating high-speed corners.

Harvick himself experienced this era firsthand, famously winning his first Cup Series race at Atlanta in 2001 in a dramatic photo finish against Jeff Gordon a moment defined by raw speed and driver precision.

Harvick just couldn’t wrap his head around why NASCAR would not listen to the outcry and demands for more power to the race car.
