Talladega Testing:

#24-Gordon was at Talladega Superspeedway Tuesday concluding a two-day test session with his Hendrick Motorsports #24 DuPont Chevy team. The Ultra Motorsports’ #7 Nations Rent Chevy with Mike Wallace and the Bessey Motorsports’ #60 Power Team Chevy wi th Dick Trickle were also back at the track on Tuesday. The majority of testing at Talladega has concerned the new rules implemented by NASCAR for the 32nd running of the Winston Cup Series Winston 500 on Sunday, Oct. 15. Winston Cup drivers will return to the track on Oct. 13 for Ricochet Qualifying Day. Gordon, who drove in the Daytona test that culminated in the new rules, said the changes may create more side-by-side racing which Talladega fans see each year. Gordon said the Daytona test did indicate drivers may feel a few changes once the green flag drops, although qualifying speeds may be the same as in April.(Talladega Superspeedway PR) No speeds reported(10-4-2000)
