NASCAR Racing 2013 Season, the first installment in the NASCAR Racing franchise, is a racing simulation video game developed and produced by NASCAR Media Group.
Development[]
NASCAR Racing 2013 Season was announced on June 23, 2013. The announcement trailer showed some of the key aspects of the game such as "Rush" and "Resistance" along with a few of the cars and drivers that would be featured in the game. At the end of the trailer, a release date of October 17, 2013 was shown. To announce what drivers and tracks were going to be included in the game, each week, multiple drivers and tracks were released to the public through the game's website. The game modes were announced during an article that was also published on the official website.

Features[]
- Rush: Once a speed of at least 180 MPH is achieved, Rush will be activated. Rush gives a sense of speed to the player which does not affect the car at all.
- Resistance: Used to slow down time during a crash. Though can only be used a certain amount of times during a race, can determine weather you win or lose.
- Flashback: If you do get caught in a crash, Flashback will allow you to rewind to before the accident. However, you only get one Flashback per race.
