It's rear downforce for them.  Those are basically old Nascar cars 
from the prior spec.  They are particular in inspection about how far 
they can have the rear spoiler stick up in the air as a larger 
spoiler or larger angle gives them an unfair advantage.  If you look 
at the bodies closely, they've done some interesting things.  The 
front of the car isn't symmetrical so they can get more front downforce.
