Kurt Busch news.....

Dale Jr.'s front-tire carrier, Mike Houston, moves to Furniture Row to become pit crew coach and help establish a new over-the wall team.

Furniture Row has been using pit crews provided by other teams, most recently Stewart-Haas. Kurt Busch to now have his own dedicated group.

Are they allowed to have numbers on the headlight stickers in 2013?

No. The headlights and tail lights are not to have #'s, sponsors or team logos on them. I liked them better on them then below them but I'll take the looks of these cars any day.

That's what I thought. I saw the 5 sticker on Kasey's car and thought it wasn't right.
 
Assuming they don't change it Tony's car for next year is the best looking out of all the ones I've seen so far.
 
Didn't notice until these pics, but the spoiler looks a lot narrower on these cars. Nice to see the cars with some shape again. The right rear is way out there.

The flared fenders look sweet but I hope they are resilient. It would suck to back to the days where a little bend ruins the handling.
 
Canadians must be diappointed that they will not be represented in NA$$CAR is 2013...

With the decision by Dodge to leave the sport and the fact that the Impala has been dropped, they've been replaced by the Aussies of all people! Who would have thunk that?

Oy, Oy, Oy!

Nice looking racecar, though!

I noticed that too. My guess is they made the rendering before NASCAR released their new paint scheme model.

Not much of a fan of his new DTEH scheme. :(
 
Great video with Brad. He was made for the camera. His hair just wasn't

http://espn.go.com/racing/nascar/cu...-problem-brad-keselowski-ferrari-f1-simulator

Keselowski was in the ****pit of a Formula One Ferrari shell that is part of the Shell Professional Simulator Experience. He was tackling The Circuit of Americas course in Austin, Texas, that recently hosted its inaugural Grand Prix event.

Joe Breeze/ESPN.comBrad Keselowski was right at home in the Ferrari Formula One simulator, one of only three in existence worldwide.​


He was turning laps of just over 1 minute, 39 seconds, slightly more than three seconds behind the pole time of 1 minute, 35.657 seconds thatSebastian Vettel had on this 20-turn road course.


"I left something out there," Keselowski said afterward.

There's a saying in racing that it's not where you start, it's where you finish. But that doesn't necessarily ring true for NASCAR's preseason exhibition race at Daytona International Speedway. NASCAR decided prior to the start of the 2012 season to go back to its traditional eligibility requirements for the Shootout  pole winners from the previous year and past Shootout winners. That means the top two drivers in the 2012 standings  #2-Brad Keselowski and #15-Clint Bowyer  aren't on the list of 22 drivers eligible for the 2013 event. Not since 2004, when 2003 champion Matt Kenseth did not win a pole, has the Shootout been run without the previous year's Cup champion. The event used to be sponsored by Budweiser, which originally had also sponsored NASCAR's pole award. When Coors took over the pole award sponsorship in 2009, the eligibility rules changed and continued to change annually. A new sponsor and a new format for the Feb. 16 event are expected to be announced soon.(Sporting News), see a list of all elgible drivers on the 2013 Shoutout page.(12-7-2012)

If Brad is not in contention for the title and Eddie Haskell is, I would agree that Brad just might have some impact on Carl's season-ending points standing!

And it couldn't happen to a more-deserving driver, IMO

IDT Brad would just wreck Carl because he didn't after Daytona, Atlanta or Gateway. If Carl bumps him though, Brad could apply the same rules Carl uses.
