NASCAR Confident About Its New Sprint Cup Car

Nascar is hoping the new Gen-6 car will heighten competition in the Sprint Cup Series for the 2013 season.

On a news conference held on Tuesday, NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France said he was quite confident the Gen-6 car will improve competition and provide more exciting racing for the fans.

The car is being rolled out and will make its debut in the Feb. 16 Sprint Unlimited (pre-season, non-points race) at

Daytona International Speedway. The season-opening Daytona 500 is scheduled for Feb. 24.

"I think we'll measure it by lead changes, we'll measure it by how it races, we'll measure it by how the drivers

feel about it, and knowing that not everybody will always love every rules package or thing that we do, that's for sure,

but we'll look at it very simply," he said.

France explained the concept of the car was started a few years ago and has gone through an unprecedented amount of

collaboration among NASCAR, the teams, the auto manufacturers and the racetracks.
