Roof Flaps.

Apolagises if this is a stupid question but I'm still very new to NASCAR. With the old style of car there were two flaps on the roof, to prevent cars from flipping onto their roofs after spinning out, (Please correct me if I'm wrong!)However on the new COT I can't see these flaps. Are they still there and I've just missed them? Or have NASCAR come up with a new design element to prevent /reduce the possibility of cars fliping over?! All help will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers for the Pic Mike. Also was just wondering where you got the little K.Harvick banner in your signature from?!

Found this picture. If you look closely, you can see both flaps. So the answer to the question is , yes they are using the flaps and no they don't have something new.
