Ok , Nascar Changes for 2013

[SpiderGearsMan]

NASCAR unveiled a new look for the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car, an integral and exciting step in the rollout process of the sixth generation race car. "These changes are an extension of the unprecedented collaboration with the auto manufacturers on the 2013 car, great industry feedback and our focus on increasing fan affinity as part of NASCAR's Industry Action Plan," said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR senior vice president of racing operations, who introduced the new design at Homestead-Miami Speedway today. The sixth-generation car look will debut with the opening of the 2013 Speedweeks, highlighted by the 55th running of the Daytona 500 on February 24 at Daytona International Speedway. Among the updates:

I am enjoying their "new look tracks" you know, the ones with all those empty seats.

[Scott Liggett]

I like the other change. No top 35 in points automatically in the race. They have to qualify into the race. Screw up your lap; and you may be putting it on the truck.

[antmnte]

I'll care when the cars look like 63 Impala's or 69 Chargers again.

[Dan Barlow]

I will care when the start with a stock body again, be it converting a front driver or starting with the proper driven wheels.

That's one reason why I love Aussie V8 Supercar so much ... they still look a lot like production Holdens and Fords.

Well that, and all of the crazy mad drivers in the series!

Does this mean I could actually identify what brand of car is being raced?

They should split the car-field. Half of the field drives rightway around the track, the other cars left way around.
Then let's see how good these drivers are in dealing with actual modernday traffic situations and hardcore daily commuting...

I'll bet that kinda racing would draw a crowd again!

[fast Ed]

Which should be amazing ... the track layout and facility looked fantastic for the F1 race today. I'll have to see if I can somehow make my way down for that event.
