Now confirmed that he will be driving the #11 car. Sponsor is still One Main.

Just means I'm gonna need to get another car from him...

edit: also, him and Kyle are going to be teammates. How do my favorite drivers typically find a way to pair up like this all the time?

I knew it, Joe Gibbs would be nuts to keep Brian Scott another year, the biggest under-performer of the past 2 years in Nationwide, even more so than Danica Patrick...

Even though Sadler has got a top-notch ride for 2013, the competition is going to be much stiffer at the top therefore he's going to have to put together a phenomenal year to win the championship. idk, Sadler's best shot at winning the championship were these past two years and he let it get away both times. He is now at the best team in Nationwide, if Logano can win 9 races racing part-time, Sadler should be able to win a dozen at least running full-time. That number is high I know, taking into account the stiffer competition in 2013, I'm going to say he's going to have to win 5-6 races to win it all come Homestead. Vickers, Smith, Dillon (possibly even Ty Dillon as well as Austin), and Hornish I think will be much stronger next year moving to Fords and partnering with Roush.

Has anyone managed to get a primary sponsor in carrer mode on NTGIL yet? I'm on my 2nd season and have yet to do so. First season I finished 27th with 7 wins (sucked early on, 5 of those wins were in the chase, other two were plate tracks) and with my 2nd season, I won the Daytona 500 and have managed to keep the points lead after Bristol. I imagined I'd have one by now.

That's strange, you should have gotten one halfway through your first season, so I'm assuming you still have the given Sprint as your primary sponsor and haven't been offered anything yet?? Very weird, I got offered 2 primary sponsors during my first season, Mobil 1 and McDonald's (ended up going with Mobil 1, their average payout was much higher). You should check the sponsor offer page to see what requirements you still need for a primary sponsor to offer you a deal. A lot of them have to do with qualifying in the top 10/top 15/whatever... as long as you don't skip qualifying, you get those offer's pretty quick, at least by halfway through the season.

I think Mobil 1 was maintaining the points lead for 5 consecutive races or something like that, they're the best primary sponsor to have as far as credits go. You can really rake up credits with them quick and get much needed upgrades.

If I don't have one by the end of this season (especially if I make/run well in the chase) I'm gonna restart the carrerr and see if I can get one that way. I think there has been only one time where I skipped qualifing, and that was because it was Talladega and I knew I could get to the front within two or three laps.

Holy ****, the Trucks racing at Eldora dirt track is true.

That's the greatest news I've heard from Nascar in a very long time. That's a must-see for sure. We'll see who can actually drive and who's just an oval racer. I'm sure it'll be a wreckfest too, the guys in the Truck series can barely make a decent run without wrecking on pavement let alone drifting constantly on a dirt track.

I could see Stewart dominating the Eldora race. What are they going to do for pit stops, just throw a competition yellow halfway?

here's some testing from Eldora

F***ing awesome, Stewart is going to blow everyone away if he decides to run that race (which he will, no doubt).
