With the Gran-daddy of stock racing taking place this weekend, I began to wonder if the CLA would ever find itself at Daytona or the NASCAR circuit. Why not, given its drag coefficient (cd) of .23? I did some research and found a post on ChaCha where the average drag coefficient for a formula 1 rave car is about .3 where a NASCAR cd is about .45. Maybe the CLA would not be allowed on the track given its cd of .23, would it? What do you think?

... wuattt?!?

I'm sure there will be some CLA owners w/ tracking interest, considering the potential of the 2.0T & revised 4Matic along w/ the 45-AMG prowess. It looks to be a very fun HPDE ride for sure!

Nascar? Not likely. I cant remember the last time a German company was involved. Heck before Toyota i cant remember any foreign carmaker. That being said i am not a nascar fan, so i could be very wrong.

But like Osiris said, i think this car has potential for some fun driving.

The CLA is way over-engineered for NASCAR. It's designed to make both right and left turns. Not just left turns.

Get rid of NASCAR and bring DTM over here!

I don't see MB participating in Nascar... pretty much ever either

Nothing against MBZ but they don't belong in NASCAR Not that they ever would anyhow
