Yeah they went fuel injection a few years ago. Machine shop I use in Tucson run by Jeff Koerner, he used to build all the carbs for several Nascar teams right up until they switched. Not only is he one of the best carb guys in the country, he builds some fantastic engines, and his machine work is superb. I use him exclusively. Rob McCabe used to build the headers for a few of the teams. When he retired he started a shop right up the street from me and now does beautiful custom stuff for all types of vehicles. So some good is coming out of Nascar, at least for some of us hot rod guys

Besides, who doesn't like a screaming small block. Here's one Jeff built for the South West Tour Nascar series. Only 9:1 compression and 353ci. https://youtu.be/Sh8RjkwuiTs If you don't like listening to this, check your pulse.

I still watch Nascar most weekends. Don't really care what people think of it. I enjoy it more in person, the roar of all the engines going by shaking the grandstands and the smell of high octane fuel. I've kind of enjoyed it more as the dragstrips have been drying up slowing my participation, plus the lack of anything related to the street car or muscle car crowd.
