NASCAR will have a new inspection system in place for the 2018 season, with a full-fledged rollout of a process that was tested at four tracks last year. But by the time the garage opens for business later this month at Daytona, the procedure will already be a familiar one.
The process — developed by Hawk-Eye Innovations, the company that oversaw the debut of NASCAR’s Pit Road Officiating technology — will replace the laser inspection system (LIS) and claw template station that previously measured vehicle bodies. The new system is expected to be far more thorough in its scanning process, creating a three-dimensional heat map of a particular car and comparing it to the computer-aided drawing (CAD) for each manufacturer.
It’s the latest evolution in technical rules enforcement that dates back to its primitive origins with manual measurements and wooden templates.
“It’s part of our DNA to try to innovate,” says John Probst, NASCAR Managing Director, Competition and Innovation. “I think if you look at the technology partners that we have — Microsoft and even Hawk-Eye, the supplier of this particular system — this isn’t our first step into this arena. … This is a natural extension for us to go in and start going from the officiating side of using technology and now starting to employ it on the inspection side.”

...and the same teams have the same problems getting through.
Meanwhile it drives the cost further for everybody. Another reason for the shorter fields.

13 Inspection Failures at Pocono - and one of the failures wins the event - WTF?
Lasers are for terrorizing cats - not for racing taxi cabs.

This is getting ridiculous, go back to the old template system.

You have to admit though, it is a pretty nifty little bit of grey area, rules 'massaging' . Kudos Nascar teams for taking a lesson from F1 engineers/designers.

NASCAR officialdom has yet to learn the lesson - the Engineers will always beat the officials on the meaning of the regulations - in what the words actually authorize.

What substance are they spraying? Paint? No, it is a 'developer spray' compound.
"Developer Spray: a powdered aerosol spray, to coat parts in order to scan dark, reflective or clear surfaces to create a matte finish. The white powder can be easily taken off after 3D scanning."

Today, Nascar asked for and received a TRO barring Maria Fan from any premises they occupy.
