The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series makes its first short track stop of 2013 this Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway. It will be everyone's first look at how the new Gen6 model will perform on a smaller track. With three different winners in three races, this weekend should shake up to be a thriller in Cup Series racing!

After a monster Daytona weekend for NASCAR (both on the track and in the ratings), the Sprint Cup circuit travels west to Arizona for the Subway Fresh Fit 500. This track is notorious for high tempers and great racing in the past couple of years. This year, the track will host the first event for NASCAR's new "Gen 6" car at a non-restrictor plate raceway.

NASCAR, Sprint Cup Driver Michael Waltrip, and Swan Racing plan to honor the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy during this year's Daytona 500 on Feb 24th .
