On Wednesday the second and final day of Car of Tomorrow testing at Lowes Motor Speedway showers delayed seven drivers from taking to the track. When they were able to test around lunchtime Dale Earnhardt Jr. pan caked his Chevy against the wall between turns three and four. It got tight turning the wheel and it didnt turn; said Junior. We were out there goofing around and the thing doesnt handle that great so we hit the fence…itll be alright. I like the car. I dont mind it too much. Thatll be normal to us one of these days. The Car of Tomorrow does get mostly good reviews from Earnhardt Jr. One of the things I like about it is in the cockpit, how they made the greenhouse bigger you can actually see out of the car better. I think theyre going in a good direction with the down force. I think the wing is a good thing as long as we dont flip upside down when we spin out. As far as the look of the car, it doesnt bother Dale. I dont care what it looks like as long as it drives good. Meanwhile, Dale Jr. was spotted taking laps in the #31 Richard Childress Racing Car of Tomorrow getting in some extra seat time. Jeff Burton tested for RCR. Other drivers turning laps included Joe Nemechek, Scott Riggs, Denny Hamlin, Casey Mears, and Brian Vickers.(PRN’s Garage Pass Radio Show)(5-31-2006)
