Richard Petty Motorsports teammates Marcos Ambrose and Aric Almirola completed a successful two-day test session at Sonoma Raceway on Wednesday. It marked the first test for the new Gen-6 car on a NASCAR-sanctioned road course, and the debut of the new car on the 10-turn, 1.99-mile Sonoma circuit. Ambrose completed approximately 75 laps, while Almirola completed 100 laps, all in race trim. Lap times were not available. ‘We always want to try to get an advantage on the competition, so we feel like its been worthwhile to be out here and hopefully it will pay off for the race’ said Ambrose, who won the pole in Sonoma last year. ‘Were happy with the progress, but we would love to be faster, always. Were confident that weve learned a lot and well come back with a better package in June.” (Sonoma PR)
