(AP) — NASCAR spent almost the entire year developing its 2013 car in hopes the "Gen 6" model will dramatically improve the racing. After his first test drive Tuesday, NASCAR's most popular driver approved of the car. "This sport is going to be revolutionized again with this car," Dale Earnhardt Jr. said.

(AP) — The season hadn't even ended before NASCAR's top executives were previewing 2013, the new "Gen 6" cars and elements of a five-year industry "action plan" designed to engage and excite fans. The season ended with a celebratory final image of fresh-faced champion Brad Keselowski, drunk on the combination of his sponsor's beer and the ...

His heart had been broken in California, where Will Power coughed away the IndyCar title by crashing out of the season finale.

(AP) — Jimmie Johnson is the king of mind games — he doesn't fall victim to them — and he's got five trophies as proof. He doesn't let the pressure rattle him, and as a veteran of seven championship finales he knows how hard it can be to tune out the noise surrounding the title-deciding race.

Keselowski was the center of attention, and NASCAR seemed trendy and hip — a description its executives surely adored. Turns out, tweeting from the car isn't cool with NASCAR.

(AP) — It would have been easy for Brad Keselowski to wreck Jimmie Johnson at the end of last week's race at Texas Motor Speedway. Keselowski would have won the race, surged ahead of Johnson in their championship battle and maybe even put enough separation on him to win his first career Sprint Cup title.
