NASCAR has announced some changes for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS), NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) starting in 2013.

NASCAR today announced a number of competition changes for the 2013 season, highlighted by a new qualifying format in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series that places a greater emphasis on speed.

Ryan Blaney started the Dollar General 300 from the 22nd position in his final NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) start with Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) this season. He quickly drove the No. 36 SealWrap Chevrolet into the top-15 and raced in the top-20 for all 300 miles. As he struggled with a tight-handling racecar he fell two laps down to the leader by the checkered flag. The No. 36 SealWrap Chevrolet finished in 14th place.

The No. 99 Zaxby's Toyota Camry, piloted by John Wes Townley, had a strong run in the early going of Saturday's Dollar General 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but a delaminated tire left the team with a 32nd-place finish.

With the final four races of the Nationwide Series ahead, before the crowing of a champion commences in Homestead-Miami, Elliott Sadler continues to move ever closer to seeing that it’s him.

Mike Wallace and the No. 01 G&K Services battled 42 other cars, long green-flag stretches and a loose handling condition on their own Chevrolet in Friday night’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Joey Logano qualified the No. 20 GameStop Toyota in the third position for Friday evening’s NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the Dollar General 300.

Michael Annett started the Dollar General 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway from the 13th position and shortly after the drop of the green flag the caution flew on Lap 2 for water on the track. At the conclusion of the lengthy cleanup Annett restarted in 15th on Lap 10. After running several laps under green flag conditions, Annett relayed to crew chief Philippe Lopez that the Pilot Flying J Cheez-It Ford was tight exiting the corners.

Brad Keselowski (No. 22 Discount Tire Dodge Challenger) Finished 18th “It was very fast. We certainly had a car to win with the Discount Tire Dodge. Discount Tire does tires, not gas so they’ve got that part right (smiles). Just didn’t have any gas there at the end and they won’t run without that.”
