There are no formal plans for a NASCAR hauler parade for this weekend’s event at the Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. The Sprint Cup Series haulers will arrive Thursday evening and will enter the raceway in smaller groups to prevent traffic jams.

Jeremy Clements Suspended For Code of Conduct Violation

NASCAR has indefinitely suspended Nationwide Series driver Jeremy Clements for a comment he made during an interview Saturday.

"During the course of an interview, Jeremy Clements made an intolerable and insensitive remark," said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR senior vice president of racing operations. "NASCAR has a Code of Conduct that's explicitly spelled out in the 2013 NASCAR Rule Book. We fully expect our entire industry to adhere to that Code."

"I apologize and regret what I said to the NASCAR writer and to NASCAR, my sponsors, my fans, and my team. NASCAR has a Code of Conduct that everyone must follow and I unintentionally violated that code. I will not get into specifics of what I said but my comment to the writer was in no way meant to be disrespectful or insensitive to anyone or to be detrimental to NASCAR or the NASCAR Nationwide Series. I will do what I need to do in order to atone for my error in judgment."

Note: There is no report, only speculation as to what was actually said by Clements.

The starting grid is set for "The Great American Race"

Danica Patrick win the pole for Daytona 500

Danica Patrick is at her best when it comes to her qualifying for NASCAR Daytona 500 for Sunday races.

Patrick won the Daytona 500 pole Sunday, becoming the first woman to secure the top spot for any race in NASCAR’s premier circuit. It’s by far the biggest achievement of her stock-car career. She’s braced for the attention that will follow.

“I think when pressure’s on and when the spotlight’s on, I feel like it ultimately ends up becoming some of my better moments and my better races and better results,” Patrick said. “I just understand that if you put the hard work in before you go out there that you can have a little peace and a little peace of mind knowing that you’ve done everything you can and just let it happen.”


Her latest stamp in the history books came with a lap at 196.434 mph around Daytona International Speedway. Patrick went out eighth in the qualifying session, then had to wait about two hours as 37 fellow drivers tried to take her spot.

Only four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon even came close to knocking her off the pole. Gordon was the only other driver who topped 196 mph in qualifying. He locked up the other guaranteed spot in next week’s season-opening Daytona 500.


The rest of the field will be set in duel qualifying races Thursday.

However the lineup unfolds, all drivers — including boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr. — will line up behind Patrick’s No. 10 Chevrolet SS.


“For those reasons, I’ve been lucky enough to make history, be the first woman to do many things. I really just hope that I don’t stop doing that. We have a lot more history to make. We are excited to do it.”

Even before her fast lap, Patrick had been the talk of Speedweeks. Not only did she open up about her budding romance with Stenhouse — Patrick officially filed to end her seven-year marriage to 47-year-old Paul Hospenthal in January — but she was considered the front-runner for the pole after leading practice sessions Saturday.

The Gen 6 Sprint Cup car is hitting the road

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 4, 2013) -- Following extensive on-track testing over the last 18 months involving more than 30 drivers, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Gen-6 car’s roll out has reached its next phase, and it starts in less than 24 hours.

It’s time to meet the masses.

The NASCAR #Gen6 Road to Daytona Fueled by Sunoco – a multi-city media blitz introducing the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Chevrolet SS, Ford Fusion and Toyota Camry to America – begins tomorrow in Detroit, with additional visits to New York City and other locations before culminating in Daytona Beach, Fla. on Feb. 13-14 for Daytona Speedweeks.

Appearances by NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr., Brad Keselowski, Clint Bowyer and Michael Waltrip as well as NASCAR executives and Miss Sprint Cup highlight the two-week media tour.

Speedweeks opens with The Sprint Unlimited (Feb. 16 on MRN, 7 p.m. ET) and concludes with the 55th running of the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 24 (MRN, 12 p.m. ET).

The Gen-6 marks the first platform revision in NASCAR’s premier series since 2007. It features body panels unique to each manufacturer that better represent their production counterparts – effectively putting the word “stock” back in stock car racing for 2013. The long-nose, short-tail designs more closely mirror the styling of the production cars and better enable the manufacturers to use NASCAR to market their brands.

“Manufacturers, teams and drivers have praised the Gen-6 car in terms of both performance and styling,” said Steve Phelps, NASCAR senior vice president and chief marketing officer. “All of us are eager to share their enthusiasm with media and fans across the country as we prepare to open the 2013 season with The Sprint Unlimited and the Daytona 500.”

The NASCAR #Gen6 Road to Daytona Fueled by Sunoco can be followed on Twitter via @NASCAR and @SunocoRacing using the hashtags #Gen6 and #NASCAR. Since 2004, Sunoco has been the “Official Fuel of NASCAR,” providing fuel for NASCAR’s three national series – the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the NASCAR Nationwide Series and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Some scheduled highlights of the NASCAR #Gen6 Road to Daytona Fueled by Sunoco:

• In Detroit on Feb. 5, Autoweek will host a breakfast and panel session at the College for Creative Studies. Participants include Mike Helton, NASCAR president; Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president of competition; Kim Brink, NASCAR vice president of brand, consumer, series marketing; Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president of performance vehicles and motorsports, Chevrolet; Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing; and David Wilson, senior vice president of Toyota Racing Development. Autoweek Editorial Director and Associate Publisher Dutch Mandel will moderate the conversation. The program will be streamed live starting at 9 a.m. ET on NASCAR.com and autoweekracing.com.

• NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski will accompany the No. 2 Miller Lite Ford at ESPN’s campus in Bristol, Conn. on Feb. 6 and appear on several of the network’s shows.

• On Feb. 7, two-time Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip and his team’s No. 15 5-hour ENERGY Toyota will visit FOX Plaza in Manhattan.

• Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the No. 88 National Guard Chevrolet will be in New York on Feb. 8 and visit the set of FOX News’ “America’s Newsroom,” among other New York City media stops.

• The tour also will visit Jacksonville, Fla. – a city less than 100 miles north of the birthplace of speed, Daytona Beach – as well as other cities along the Road to Daytona.

The NASCAR #Gen6 Road to Daytona Fueled by Sunoco arrives in Daytona Beach, Fla. on Feb. 13, and will be on display throughout the annual NASCAR Media Day scheduled on Feb. 14.
