i dont understand why they dont use dimpled bodys in racing such as nascar wehere they fight air resistance so much with all that body surface. Is it against the rules? otherwise i guess they need the additional drag for tracktion/downforce
i remember mythbusters did it on some random car by adding clay and sculpting it, even with all the added weight it still performed better ( stock oem car)

if its such a great design then why dont car manufacturers do this on their vehicles?
