Car of Tomorrow test
There are 50 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series teams at Bristol Motor Speedway for two days of testing the Car of Tomorrow in preparation for the race on March 25.
The first day of testing is today and concludes Thursday. The March 25 Bristol race will be the debut of the Car of Tomorrow for all the Cup teams.
This is the third of seven scheduled Cup tests for the Car of Tomorrow. Previous tests have been at Daytona International Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Tests at Richmond, Lowe's, Dover and Talladega will follow later in the year.
The Car of Tomorrow will be used in 16 Cup races this year. They include oval tracks of less than 1.5-miles, the two road courses and the October race at Talladega.
“The Bristol test should be a good dress rehearsal for the race teams, drivers and NASCAR as we prepare for the first Car of Tomorrow race later next month,” said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR Vice President of Competition. “It should provide the teams with a good opportunity to fine tune their set ups and become more familiar with how their cars are going to handle and give NASCAR the chance to have a trial run in getting its inspection process for the new car all buttoned up.”
