Scheduled NASCAR testing of Sprint Cup Series 2013 GenSix car

Jan 10-12 at Daytona International Speedway

Jan 17-18 at Charlotte Motor Speedway

Before the green flag waves for the famed Daytona 500 in Feb, 2013, watch for more NASCAR adjustments and driver feedback as testing of the new Generation Six 2013 car continues.
