Pretty sure it hasn't been covered in this thread but will have been covered somewhere on ph but Andy Petree was the crew chief for the Harry gant Skoal bandit NASCAR at the time and they created a deck lid spoiler that could be lowered, kind of like DRS in F1. There is a very good video with a whole panel of people from motorsport discussing racing in the grey area and this story was on it.

Also included was one of the crew for the infamous Whittington Brothers ex Kremer 935 which had nitrous installed in it, they used the radio switch to activate it.

Dale Jr's podcast also has an interview with Darrel Waltrip regarding rule bending in NASCAR.

Engine rev control, not traction control, nice....
