A NASCAR front isn’t three LB’s lining up on the defensive line. It’s three to four defensive ends.

Uhh. Do they all start out and then turn left? :broccoli:

I wouldn't call it unconventional, the formations are usually the same just that you put more speed on the field. Cam Jordan at 3-tech for example. If a guard has to block him alone that's a pretty tough assignment.
