Bye-Bye Testing? on TNN's Inside NASCAR, Steve Waid reported that NASCAR is looking into ways to eliminate testing, totally, with rookies being the exception. At present, teams (a team being one car, the #6 and #99 are part of the Roush team but for testing is considered one team each) can test seven times, rookies ten at race tracks that hold Winston Cup races. A team can test as often as they want at non-Winston Cup tracks like Greenville-Pickens or Kentucky Speedway.

Testing Limits? There is growing support among Winston Cup crews for a major NASCAR cutback in testing. NASCAR allows teams seven tests(ten for rookies) a season at Cup tracks and unlimited testing on other tracks. One proposal is for NASCAR to expand that testing limit to include all NASCAR-sanctioned tracks, including non-Cup venues like Kentucky Speedway. Another proposal is to eliminate testing at Winston Cup tour tracks entirely, except for rookies(PitNow)(8-21-2000)

The practice sessions will run from 3:00 to 11:00pm/et each day(Speed Magazine)(6-13-2000)
UPDATE: Dale Jarrett, Ricky Rudd and Jerry Nadeau were testing out new cars Tuesday night at Daytona and were finding their speeds slower than their last run at Daytona in February thanks to a few rule changes by NASCAR. All three drivers had their fastest laps in their new cars with Nadeau turning the fastest time at 184.805mph. Jarrett had a fast lap of 184.049mph and Rudd turned a lap of 183.673mph. After having to give up their Daytona 500 winning car to DAYTONA USA, the #88 Ford Quality Care/Ford Credit team was left a car short, so they brought a brand new Taurus to this week’s test session. Ricky Rudd, driver of the No. 28 Texaco Ford and Jarrett’s Robert Yates teammate, was testing a brand new car as well as the car he won the Gatorade 125 mile qualifier in during Speedweeks 2000. The lone Chevrolet Monte Carlo sharing the track with the Yates teams was piloted by Jerry Nadeau, driver of the #25 Michael Holigan Chevy. Although Nadeau was without a teammate for tonight’s test, his efforts would not be entirely self serving as the test will help to enhance the whole Hendrick Motorsports team. Jarrett and Rudd plan to return for another test session under the lights at Daytona Wednesday(Daytona Intl Speedway PR)(6-14-2000)
UPDATE 2: the 2nd and final day of practice at Daytona ended Wednesday night with the following speeds reported: #25-Jerry Nadeau posted a fast lap of 185.567mph, followed by #88-Dale Jarrett at 184.805mph and #28-Ricky Rudd at 184.049mph(Daytona Intl Speedway PR)(6-15-2000)

Lowes testing: Fifteen Cup drivers and teams set up camp at Lowe’s Motor Speedway Monday evening for the first of two nights of testing in preparation for the May 20th running of The Winston and the May 28 Coca-Cola 600. Among those on hand were Winston Cup champions #88-Dale Jarrett and #94-Bill Elliott along with 2000 race winners #8-Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and #6-Mark Martin. With computers playing an ever-increasing role in testing, most teams went about their work methodically instead of going for an all-out qualifying lap during this initial night of testing. “We’ve come here before and chased the stopwatch. We’re not doing that this time. In fact, we haven’t changed a spring or a shock on either car,” said veteran Ken Schrader(#36). “We’ve got a bunch of things we are trying. We’ll do one thing, see how it works and then move on to another.” One driver who did make a qualifying run shortly after sunset was Ted Musgrave in the Fenley/Moore #15 Ford. The Wisconsin native turned a lap of 181.512mph in his unsponsored machine. (record pole speed record is 185.230mph) “These are both brand new race cars,” said crew chief Joey Knuckles. “We thought we had a sponsor and built seven new cars during the winter, then the deal fell apart at the last minute. We are still looking for a sponsor, but we plan to run the 600.” Winston Cup drivers on hand for the test were: #88-Dale Jarrett, #36-Ken Scharder, #28-Ricky Rudd, #8-Dale Earnhardt, Jr., #45-Adam Petty, #93-Dave Blaney, #94-Bill Elliott, #6-Mark Martin, #40-Sterling Marlin, #42-Kenny Irwin, Carl Long, Ed Berrier, #60-Geoffry Bodine, #15-Ted Musgrave and #50-Ricky Craven. The #90 Ford driven by Ed Berrier and sponsored by Hill Brothers Coffee sported a unique green paint job. When asked about the new color, veteran car owner Junie Donlavey smiled and said, “Decaf.”(LMS PR)(5-9-2000)

Sears Point Testing: Dale Earnhardt Jr. made his first trip to Sears Point Raceway this week for a NASCAR Winston Cup Test Session, and he won't soon forget it. Earnhardt Jr., who was joined in the Tuesday-Wednesday session by #18-Bobby Labonte, #43-John Andretti and 31-Steve Park, survived several spins on the twisting 10-turn, 1.94-mile road course and came away with much-needed experience. NASCAR comes to Sears Point Raceway June 22-25 for the Save Mart/Kragen 350. Earnhardt Jr. turned one of his best laps in the Wednesday morning session at 1 minute, 13.4 seconds(95.150mph). Park reported the fastest time of the session at 1:12.12(96.839mph), followed by Andretti (1:12.55 - 96.265mph) and Labonte (1:13.1 - 95.540mph). Andretti has placed third the last two years at Sears Point, while Labonte was 27th a year ago. Earnhardt Jr. prepared for the test session by using a simulator, but still found the terrain tough. He twice suffered spins exiting Turn 7, both times landing in the gravel trap. Boris Said, who won the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Sears Point in 1998, served as a personal coach to both Earnhardt Jr. and Park during the session(Sears Point PR)(4-26-2000)

Talladega Testing UPDATE: NASCAR’s testing session at Talladega ended Monday without any concrete decisions. Some of the things NASCAR tried during the test was to increase downforce with a 65-degree spoiler on the car, raising the valence from 3 1/2 inches up to six inches and adding a one-inch wicker to the rook of the car near the windshield. See full story at the Anniston Star(4-19-2000)

Other drivers participating in the test session include #18-Bobby Labonte, #43-John Andretti and #17-Matt Kenseth(Sears Point PR)(4-20-2000)

Slow Down at 'Dega UPDATE 2: Richard Childress and Jack Roush have prepared cars for a special test here Monday in an effort to slow Winston Cup cars down enough so they won't need a carburetor restrictor plate. Nelson said teams came to him with some ideas, and he decided to try them out on the race track. One of the ideas is a bigger "greenhouse," the size and shape of the rear window area(Total Sports). Ned Jarrett's idea is to stand the windshield up, like the trucks, that'll slow them down(4-15-2000)
UPDATE: NASCAR has closed the test to the media except for long-distance photography, and there are indications that NASCAR officials aren't very enthusiastic about the test. See full story by Mike Mulern at PitNow
UPDATE 2: On RPM2Nite the two cars being tested were shown. The #6 Ford was driven by Matt Kanseth and had some sheet metal modifications done around the nose and hood. The #3 Chevy was driven by Dave Marcis and supposedly had a raised roof(by one inch) and widened by 2 inches. Also it was speculated on the show the the windshield was being tested at different angles. The cars with present restrictor plates and modifications were slowed down by 3 seconds. Using a larger restrictor plate (unknown size) the 3 seconds were regained. More testing will be done on Tuesday(RPM2Nite)(4-17-2000)

Talladega Testing? UPDATE: Teams will run with a smaller restrictor plate at Talladega next week and will be allowed to use their own shock absorbers on the fronts of their cars. Supposedly, NASCAR is not through looking for ways to improve the racing at the circuit's two restrictor-plate tracks and will test a high-drag car on the Monday following the DieHard 500. The car would have a taller "green house," the term used for the compartment in which the driver sits, and be a bit wider than the slicked-down aerodynamically honed cars now in use by top teams. That kind of car would create a bigger "hole" in the air as it races down the straightaway, increasing drag and thereby slowing speeds somewhat. The bigger hole in the air would also increase the effects of the draft on cars running in line and might eventually even allow the use of restrictor plates with bigger holes, increasing both horsepower and throttle response (paraphrased from That's Racin') no idea if this will be one team, which make, or if all teams who wish to test at Talladega next Monday will be allowed to. Also see another story at PitNow: Uncommon Sense: Speeds were lowered at wrong speedway(4-9-2000)
UPDATE: Roush Racing, Childress Racing and Morgan McClure Motorsports have been invited to Talladega next Monday for a novel NASCAR test at Talladega to find new ways to make disgruntled Winston Cup drivers happier at the tour's two biggest tracks. Drivers have long complained about being bunched too tightly without enough horsepower to break away at Daytona and Talladega. So NASCAR officials will try to figure out how to add enough aerodynamic drag to these cars to allow drivers a lot more horsepower, while still keeping speeds around 190 mph. Roush and Childress are building special cars for the test. It is unclear who will test/drive the carsPitNow)(4-11-2000)

LVMS Testing UPDATE: have gotten some email saying Shane Hall had wrecked in the #0 BGN Chevy.

He was taken to the University Medical Center, but returned to the track before testing was finished. He said he is planning on getting back in his other car on Tuesday. That is good news. As for CUP speeds, #12-Jeremy Mayfield was the quickest today, with #8-Dale Earnhardt Jr., #9-Stacy Compton and #24-Jeff Gordon were close behind. The LVMS site should have speeds posted later -- UPDATE 2: The first day of CUp and BGN testing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway consisted of Dale Earnhardt's return to the driver.s seat, an accident and a Ford leading the field. Dale Earnhardt returned his race car for the first time since off-season backsurgery. Monday's test ended Earnhardt's longest period out of a race car since he began his motorsports career in 1979. Earnhardt has not driven his #3 Chevy Monte Carlo since the Nov. 21 season finale at Atlanta. Earnhardt didn't turn the fastest time of the day, but did manage a respectable time of approximately 33.3 seconds at 162.162mph. The fastest time of the day belonged to Jeremy Mayfield. The driver of the #12 Moble 1 Ford Taurus toured the 1.5-mile superspeedway at approximately 166.153mph (32.5 seconds). Other NASCAR Winston Cup drivers who posted fast times during the first day of testing were Dale Earnhardt Jr., (32.7 seconds, 165.137mph), Stacy Compton (32.8 second, 164.643 mph) and Jeff Gordon (33.3 seconds, 162.162 mph). The only incident of the day occurred when NASCAR Busch Series driver Shane Hall experienced a suspected steering problem and made contact with the inside retaining wall, causing the car to roll several times down the back straightaway. "I think something broke in the steering and I just started heading straight at the inside wall," Hall said. "The car started flipping, and I don't remember much after that. I'm pretty sore, but I'm going to try and get back in the other car tomorrow." Hall received a hairline fracture of the left ankle in the accident. He was treated and released from University Medical Center and returned to the track before the end of the day. NASCAR Winston West driver Sean Woodside will be on hand to test Halls car Tuesday. A total of 23 NASCAR teams tested at LVMS Monday. Fifteen of the teams were from CUP and eight teams were from the BGN.

Pruett Testing Day II: Before Tuesday, Lake Tahoe, Nevada native Scott Pruett didn’t even know where Darlington, SC was on a map. But he met the infamous wall of Darlington Raceway face-to-face after coming to town for the first time. Pruett, a long-time racer, is making his debut in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series next year, and he chose Darlington Raceway to be the place of initiation for his 2000 Winston Cup ride with PPI Motorsports. On Tuesday and Wednesday he tested at the track “Too Tough To Tame,” (which is not known for a friendly welcome to rookies), and actually, other than a brief encounter with the Turn 4 wall, he faired pretty well. At the end of the day Wednesday he was running a 29.40, which converts to 167.265 mph, and would have been barely quick enough to enter him into the field of 1999 Pepsi Southern 500 competitors. Not bad when you consider he wasn’t even running on a qualifying set-up. The performance is not all that surprising when you consider Pruett’s racing background. He has been involved in motorsports for more than 18 years, and has excelled in the CART series in the last decade. He is a two-time SCCA Trans-Am champion, and has experience in virtually every type of race car. On top of that, he has some of the best in the business by his side with Cal Wells of PPI Motorsports as team owner, Doug Richert as crew chief, and long-time Winston Cup sponsor Tide backing him up. But even so, why start out at Darlington, the toughest track on the NASCAR circuit? Well, Pruett just figured that if he could drive at Darlington he could drive anywhere. Team Manager Joe Garone said that the crew was pleased at the end of testing Wednesday, and that Pruett has a natural feel for driving Darlington Raceway and a Winston Cup car. “It’s amazing how quickly he has adapted to the differences of open-wheeled driving to that of Winston Cup,” he said. “We feel like he’s just a natural. We were just hoping to leave here with the cars in tact,” he laughed. Veteran Winston Cup driver Ted Musgrave was on hand both days to give Pruett some pointers on driving the track(Darlington PR)(11-3-1999)
Wells Testing UPDATE: hearing that the #32 Cal Wells' Winston Cup team is testing at Darlington today and tomorrow(Tuesday and Wednesday) -- UPDATE: Scott Pruett's first day of testing got off to a late start because of rain, but overall the team was pleased with the apparent results. Pruett did not get a Darlington stripe on his debut day, and seemed to be catching on to driving a Winston Cup car by the end of the day. Pruett plans to test all day on Wednesday, November 3rd. Ted Musgrave is at Darlington helping the team test(11-2-1999)
Atlanta Testing: Bill Elliott was the fastest in testing Monday at Atlanta Motor Speedway with a fast lap of 187.932mph.
