A splitter nor a spoiler can be accurately described as a wing. Neither has a potential for lift or flipped upside down downforce. They can be more accurately described as trim tabs.

A spoiler disturbs the air flow across the surface it's attached to. Hence the term 'spoiler. A splitter's purpose is to direct the air rather than disturb it. They're not the same thing, never have been, never will be.

Meant NO Offense to you Mr. Tanner, on the contrary I'm in agreement with you about this "Wing Thing" if ya properly read:
I myself, like you, grew up just calling them "wings" because that was exactly what they are to do exactly what ya said they do.... push / stick that part of the vehicle down to the ground...   :o  :o    Somewheres along the line of time they've become "spoilers"....   ???  

Now because these wings are on the front some folks want to force the term "splitter" down our throats 'cause NASCAR has coin'd ( I Think, maybe wrong) the term for the front wing....  :-\  :-\

These wings / splitters / spoilers have been used on the front end of the "Open Wheel'rs" long before NASCAR took "stock" outa stock car!   :D  :D

It's all a matter of terminology regardless of the vehicle manufacture and the location of these "spoilers-vortex generator-splitter-what ever" to create a composite of wings to make  the Whole Vehicle a WING!  There will be a high pressure side and a low pressure side... lift or down force... depends how the wing is configured

It's all about low drag and down-force in car racing!

I Humbly apologize to you Mr. Leo Tanner if you took offense by me including you with myself as a response to RC's quote......

PS....  This whole thing is getting outta hand...  I shall make no further comment on this "wing" matter....   :-X

I got to see my first Nascar race in 1963, The Daytona 500. We got free tickets when we had the parts store and sold products that were used by the teams. My Dad was Service Manager at our local Ford dealership from 53 to 57. He was a Ford man. He thought that Ford only built one good engine, The flathead. We had auto related busineses until 1970, when he was elected Sheriff, which he served for almost 8 years. He passed away in 78.  We had a parts store, a body shop, a radiator shop, a garage, and a battery-electric shop. We had a Sprint car in 1950(powered by a flathead), we sponsored Cars, and I did some Drag racing in the Stock classes in the middle to late 60s. We also attended the Indy 500 in the 50s and late 60s. We got free tickets for the race as well. We had some long drives to Florida and Indianapolis from the Texas Panhandle. I grew up in garages and my Dad learned to be a mechanic by working on Model Ts as a kid in the 20s and 30s. He came home after WW2 and opened his first garage. He was always a mechanic and a Ford man. It really hurt his feelings when I bought my first car, a 56 Chevy BelAir 2dr Ht.

The old man had modifieds with flatheads. My first was a '55 Chevrolet, 2 door sedan.

Decent race for Michigan yestitty. The last caution made it what is was by clumpin' it all up. Damned if Kenseth didn't try ta get 'nother one.

Dad's first business after he returned from WW2 was a wrecking yard and operating the only wrecker service in town. He built his first wrecker out of a 38 Ford car with a hand crank winch.

Really GOOD STUFF there Texas Lawdog...... I do like reading/hear'n of family history of the ol' days and how dynamic your Pa was.  He sounds like an awesomely talented fella...   ;)  ;)  ;)

Cuz Carl seemed to be the only fella to go "Red Eye'n" then decided to stay in Sonoma....  A Wise Move IMHO!   8)

JR & Mark Martin are friends again for I had no doubt that would be the case....   8).... Tough News for Brian Vickers..... I hope he lands on his feet with a competive team....   ;)

Putz'n make'n lead bricks for future lead-heads 'till Nationwide at Road America in mid-afternoon...  ;D  ;D

Yep, He was a true mechanic. If he couldn't find a part, he could make it. I lost him too early to Cancer at age 59. He wound up being a purty fair investigator, for someone who had never been a cop before. He was my best man at my wedding and he helped initiate me into the Masons.

I had not heard about the Red Bull team in NASCAR. I heard that they were cutting back in their Air Race sponsorships. I hate to see 2 of the Toyos not competing next year.

That 22 car is doing better than expected this year. The 2 isn't. I'm not a big Ski fan. He ain't paid his dues as of yet, been too many of his press clippings. I would like to see Cuzzin Carl win the Cup this year and dethrone 5 Time. June Bug has a bunch of bad Karma, maybe he needs to make a change. Him and HMS has been a hit or miss relationship since he came there.

I wonder if she's gonna wear 4 different driving suits.   Arcey,  I bought one of those little laptops today, so far so good.  The keyboard is a little small for my big hands.
