The guys on the forums found this on Twitter.

more info on the Gen 6 cars for NTG.

At least there is a discount for all of the cars. The ones who buy the highlights pack get all 43 cars for free. That makes me feel better. What I don't like is no career mode, season, or paint booth. Maybe they need to make a quick patch for those. Career and season don't matter all that much, but I paint a tone of cars.

I'll post more when I get home.

I couldn't help myself. I had to make this.

Looks like Nascar season is finally upon us once again.

Even Nascar's off-season is fast.

I hate how Nascar's site doesn't have the full qualifying and practice schedules anymore, they just tell you the race times and of course, this information is nowhere else to be found on the internet.

I used to like to watch practice and qualifying when I had some free time to kill during the day, kinda hard to do that now when I have no idea what their TV times are.

New track drying system.

Not fast enough :P

But yeah, yesterday was exciting to write all the Sprint cup schedule dates/tracks/starting times on the calender again. And I printed out the Nationwide schedule and taped that to my bedroom door. Only 11* days until the 500. But before that, we have the Sprint Unlimited (changed the name of the Budweiser Shootout) and the Duels to watch before that.

*Ironically, this is the same number as the car that will win the Nationwide championship this year

Yay, I actually get to watch the Thursday Duels this year live.

Can't wait for the Sprint Unlimited. The first competitive race with the Gen-6 cars and the first chance to really see what we have in store for the 500.

[nascargo19]

pratice for the Unlimited on right now on speed!

and there was a wreck

Spotter fail. The way he turned down looks like he was getting the "all clear" and well, it turns out he wasn't.

I foresee many more wrecks like that in the near future with the new cars as the drivers get adjusted.

And Mike Joy made the first commentator fail of the year, he called the #20 Joey Logano about 5 times before he finally got corrected that it's actually Matt Kenseth.
