I like the spec car idea. The thing I hate about sprint races is that it increases the potential cost for the smaller teams. Two races is two chances to wreck the car and incur cost in repairs. Bigger teams can absorb that a bit easier.

And if you take the cost cap into it, it takes from anyone who wrecks their cars. The possibility of wrecking the car will cause shit racing.
