NASCAR Gen-6

The idea of stock car racing to me has always been the basic car racing on the track looks similar to the model that is on the showroom floor at the dealership. I believe many NASCAR fans share the same thinking. So when the Nationwide cars made a body change a few years back to allow the cars to look more like what they are suppose to be it was a pleasant change even though what was running in the Sprint Cup Series was just a series of cars that looked the same, and the only thing to distinguish one manufacture from another was the stickers on the front that said 'Ford', 'Chevy' or otherwise.

However NASCAR fans got their wish when NASCAR rolled out the Generation 6 car though out the season. Each one was released to rave reviews to many who loved the looks of the cars. What is more impressive is the number of fans, who are brand loyal that have expressed positive comments about the other manufacturers entries.

I'm no different although I consider myself a Ford guy, I actually root for a couple of Chevy teams. But I like the look of all four models, Dodge included, even though they will not compete in 2013.

As a Ford guy who recently bought a 2012 Ford Fusion, I wasn't impressed with the 2013 showroom model. It looked overly sedanish. But when the NASCAR version was rolled out I was more than impressed. It looks sleek, very sporty, and has me hoping Ford issues a sportier showroom model soon. The grill, and lights on the front have a somewhat intimidating look.

Cheverolet was the last manufacture to introduce their 2013 model. The Cheverolet SS is a showroom model that has yet to be seen, but what will be seen on NASCAR tracks also has a sleek look to it. Many of the paint schemes that have been released hide some of the nice contours of the SS. The best one may be the Furniture Row 78 given the simplified scheme they run. Like the Ford it really shows off the sportiness of the SS.

The Toyota Camry may be the one model that does not scream sporty like the Chevy, and Ford. But with the line-up of drivers running the Camry does it really matter.

I will never be a 'Dodge Guy', however even I was impressed when Dodged rolled out the Charger for the 2013 season. The racing lines, and contours gave this car a very nice look. Unfortunately Dodge took it's first hit when Penske announced it was moving to Ford. Then after having several teams interested in moving to Dodge, opted to not run in 2013 after the offers they received were not to their liking. Many hope they will return in 2014, in part because of the car they would have rolled out.

While the styling of the 2013 cars have changed, fans will also have to get use to some other changes in the cars. Specifically some changes in where certain stickers will go, like he headlight number. No longer will it be on the headlight, but below it. The driver's last names will now be on top of the windshield. The other significant change is the addition of a sponsor logo on top of the car.

There are many reasons NASCAR fans are looking forward to the 2013 Daytona 500, on top of many of their lists is seeing these beautiful new cars running side by side, and easily being able to tell who's running a Ford, Chevy, or Toyota.
