Following Sunday’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway #25-Brian Vickers will remain in Atlanta to conduct a test session for NASCAR and Hendrick Motorsports. He will be driving the next-generation NEXTEL Cup Series car, known as the “car of tomorrow.” Several other teams that have built the new cars will be testing as well.(Hendrick Motorsports)(10-28-2005)
UPDATE: NASCAR’s proposed car-of-the-future is to be tested today at Atlanta Motor Speedway, with Ford’s Carl Edward, Chevy drivers Brian Vickers, Jeff Burton and Martin Truex Jr., and Dodge’s Kyle Petty, along with NASCAR’s Brett Bodine. The bigger, boxier car has been controversial, and some people in the NASCAR garage are insisting that it will never make to a starting line. NASCAR officials insist they hope to debut it next October at Talladega, with a full rollout in 2007.(Winston Salem Journal)(10-31-2005)
