Jacques Villeneuve continued his preparation for his NASCAR debut by testing Wednesday at Kentucky Speedway. He turned laps for Bill Davis Racing in the new Car of Tomorrow [#27 Toyota]. Feels great! I’m just getting up to speed and getting used to driving the car, said Villeneuve during a lunch break. It is very different than anything I have driven before so I just want it to become natural and its fun. Villeneuve will use the final seven races of the 2007 Craftsman Truck Series season to prep for Sprint Cup Series competition in 2008. Even though the race trucks and the COT have similar aerodynamics, both are very different from what he has driven in the past. It is not as responsive. But, the tracks are very different as well. The driving style is different. If it was on a similar type than there would be a huge difference. Testing continues through-out the fall at the 1.5 mile tri-oval.
