2013 National Racing Championship season

The 2013 National Racing Championship is the sixteenth season, and first under the new name. The league was called the RROL Elite Series in 2012.

Pre-Season Changes
Many changes would occur for the 2013 NRC Season, a major one being the field cap. In 2012, 56 full time teams were entered. However, officials announced that in 2013, the full time field cap would be cut in half to 28 cars.

Unlike 2012, when there was an open-chassis rule, the 2013 season would only feature five. Lycoia, Tuttle, Saar, and Inglesby were the first four to be announced. The fifth, Isanni, was announced later.

Schedule
The schedule for 2013 expands from 12 races to 16. Daytona does not return as the season opener for the first time in series history. Despite negotiations about keeping the track on the schedule for a mid-season race, it will not host the series at all. The Grand Prix of Clairmont, the premier race on the former RROL calendar, was also dropped.
