DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (November 17, 2012)
– NASCAR today 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:
· The driver’s last name featured on the windshield;
- Sponsor decals will not be permitted on the headlights and taillights, two key distinguishing characteristics of the auto manufacturers’ brand;
- Car numbers will be moved from the lights to the front and rear bumpers;
- A single sponsor logo will be permitted 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.
