Go to <http://www.sae.org> and search the collections of
tech papers from the previous Motorsports Technology Conferences.
There was a good SAE paper given by the people that developed the
roof flaps -- a joint development by NASCAR, GM and Ford, maybe
4 years ago?
While you are there, you can also see our book (shameless plug) at:

1994 I believe. Rusty Wallace's 1993 flip at Talladega that resulted in some
injures spawned the roof flaps.
