A ban on in-season testing is among the options NASCAR is considering in an attempt to slow the trend toward multicar-team domination of the Winston Cup series. ESPN2’s “RPM 2Night” reported Monday there would be a meeting on that subject today, but Winston Cup director of operations Kevin Triplett said Tuesday no meeting is scheduled. Triplett and vice president for competition Mike Helton were in Indianapolis on Monday, where a number of Winston Cup teams were testing for the Aug. 1 running of the Brickyard 400. Even though there’s no meeting scheduled, NASCAR is looking at the testing rules, which allow seven in-season tests at tracks where the circuit competes.
