The ongoing evaluation of the Dodge Intrepid versus Charger NEXTEL Cup Series race platforms continued at Kentucky Speedway Tuesday with Penske Racing South driver Kurt Busch the #2 Miller Lite car. Busch visited the 1.5-mile tri-oval to work with spring packages and further explore techniques for enhancing the performance of the 2006 Charger template. “We come here to test because this is the closest track that we can run that gives us information for other racetracks. This place is definitely is the caliber of a Cup facility. Northern Kentucky, the Cincinnati area, everybody wants a Cup race here. We’re studying the way the rear and front springs come down to the racetrack. You don’t want the car to hit the racetrack, you just want to make sure you get the car as low as you can. This place is flat and smooth. We’re trying to get things right for our next race. We had it right at Daytona, but we’ve struggled in the last two races so we’re just coming back and touching up on things,” Busch said. Ryan Newman also participated in the test.(Kentucky Speedway PR), #9Kasey Kahne of Evernham Motorsports is testing today.(3-15-2006)
