2013A NASA RallyCross Challenge Season

The 2013A NASA RallyCross Challenge Season was the fourth season of the NASA RallyCross Challenge. Dylan Livengood and Revolution Racing will return as the defending Drivers and Constructors Champions. The season started on 13 January 2013 and ended prematurely on 27 January, due to a drop in car count because of a cheating controversy centered around Xander Clements. The Drivers, Constructors, and Manufacturers Championships were not awarded due to 3 races only being run, and the regulations require the minimum amount of races to be run to be 4.

Regulation Changes

 * The NASA RallyCross rulebook will be strictly enforced and read THROUGHLY before every event.
 * To be deemed a "Works" or "Semi-Works" team and run for the Constructors' Championship, a team must have two cars run the entire season.
 * Any team/driver that does not run the full season will automatically be entered for the Privateer Cup.
