The 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule isn’t official yet, but to help you with travel plans for next season, here’s a guess at how things will look.
The 2013 NASCAR schedule? An attempt to guess next year’s calendar
Mark J. Rebilas-US PRESSWIRE - Presswire
Many of the dates are now certain, so you won’t get burned by booking hotels. The dates in BOLD are ones which have either been confirmed by the track or are a lock due to the calendar (like the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day Weekend). The dates in regular type (like this) without a question mark are probable.
The schedule will remain virtually the same as this year’s version, except Kansas and Talladega swapped Chase dates back to where they were in 2011. The tracks switched weekends this season because Kansas needed the extra time to repave its track, so they’ll change back next year.
