“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 are:
The driver’s last name featured on the windshield;
Car numbers will be moved from the lights to
the front and rear bumpers;
A single sponsor logo on the roof, under the
number;
Team sponsor decals will be permitted to
extend past the front edge of the b-post;
“Step and repeat” / background patterns will
be permitted on the sides of the car
Due to the slightly smaller car, the car
number will be reduced by 10% and the contingency decals will be reduced to 26
square inches.
Can't wait!!!!
ReplyDeleteAbout time they put something across the windshield. I always thought it would say "Sprint" but drivers names works too. Now if they can put the name under the number on the sides too, it'll make it easier for new fans to find heroes
