Busch Series 2007 Testing Schedule Announced:

NASCAR has set its 2007 NASCAR Busch Series testing schedule that includes four different venues that will provide the teams an opportunity to prepare for the various track layouts and surfaces that they will face over the course of the season. NASCAR determined the test schedule with the input and cooperation of each of the teams crew chiefs. NASCAR instituted a new track testing policy earlier this year that pre-sets a schedule for when and where NASCAR Busch Series tests are to be conducted. The scheduled tests are the only opportunities teams will have to test at NASCAR Busch Series tracks. The policy was implemented to serve as an aid to maintain better overall competitive balance for the teams and contain costs. The tracks are: Daytona International Speedway, 2006 Odd Car Owner Points Jan. 19-21, 2006 Even Car Owner Points Jan. 21-23, Las Vegas Motor Speedway Feb. 5-6, (Rain Date Feb. 7), Richmond International Raceway March 27-28, (Rain Date March 29), Lowes Motor Speedway May 14-15, (Rain May 16).(NASCAR PR)(10-10-2006)
