NASCAR confirmed Monday that Cup Series teams received the 2022 rules package for the Next Gen car at the beginning of the month.

The aero package for intermediate racetracks will not change. Teams will continue to compete with 550-horsepower and an eight-inch spoiler. However, horsepower will be cut to 670 (from 750) at short tracks and road courses with a four-inch spoiler. It is the same package teams are testing with at the Charlotte Roval.

The superspeedway aero package has not been determined. John Probst, NASCAR senior vice president of racing innovation, said officials would look for more data during a January organizational test, but the horsepower will more than likely be less than 550.
