Hey all. This is a "mock season" I am doing. It contains real drivers, but it has alternate paint schemes created by the NR2003 community. Thanks to all who contribute alternate paint schemes, including the hard work put into sets by burtonbraves and DanAsher26. Other users that have contributed are David24, willjr3129, Sgt. Slaughter, among others. Thanks guys!
Now to the season. It follows the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule. I am doing 20% races. It uses 45 real drivers that have schemes (I do have more, but they did not make Season 1). To determine the racers that do not make the field I use the Top 35 rule. I qualify them against each other and the 3 with slowest speeds do not make the field. Once 26 races are done, I will use the 2014 Chase system. I am using accurate 2013 ratings. Any other questions about it, let me know.
I have run the first 6 races. Here are the point standings:
1. 24 Jeff Gordon 227
2. 88 Dale Earnhardt Jr. 218
3. 20 Matt Kenseth 204 (3 Wins: Daytona, Phoenix, Las Vegas)
4. 18 Kyle Busch 202 (1 Win: Bristol)
5. 78 Martin Truex Jr. 200

Changes coming to next year: Any paint scheme accepted
Next year in the Alternate NASCAR Cup Series Season 2, any paint scheme can be used, as long as it's the same manufacturer and number as the team. This means that any paint schemes used in the 2013 or 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series can be used.

Drivers already wrapping up sponsors; chart to be posted soon.

Kevin Harvick has won the 11th race of the Season at Kansas. Next is All-Star Weekend.
RACE NEWS
Jimmie Johnson blows engine, chance at win
Jimmie Johnson was supposed to be happy coming across the start/finish line at Kansas. The white flag was in the air. But he was frustrated. He had the lead. He was going towards his first win. But his engine went up in smoke, and so did his chance at winning. Johnson, a 6-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion, has gone winless so far this year. He declined comment after the race.
