2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (Start Your Engines!)

The 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series was the 66th season of professional stock car racing in the United States and the 43rd modern-era Cup series season.

Changes
NASCAR restructured the penalties and appeals system allowing penalties to be more consistent. The appeals process also makes NASCAR's basis for issuing the penalty public at the first appeal instead of the last. Minor changes were made to the SC-13 body. Rules on ride height were made much stricter, and the top of the rear spoiler is now made of clear material to give drivers more visibility.
