Drivers are still talking about how the new car won't turn like the old car and crew chiefs are doing everything they can to make it turn.

Since last fall, teams have been spending a lot of man-hours working on fine-tuning the front end geometry of the new car in an effort to produce more mechanical grip and help the cars to turn in the corners.

The problem is more apparent at the faster, flatter tracks like California, where feedback from drivers after the recent test there was less than positive.

However, according to some of the smarter voices in the garage, the real answer to the problem would be very simple.

By extending the length of the front splitter from the current six inches out to eight it would create the necessary downforce on the front end to help turn the car. Of course, the splitter would also have to be raised about an inch so that it could maintain its current travel.

I've also heard that such a change could be in place by the time the Cup series arrives in Atlanta.
