‘We tested at Watkins Glen International last year and it really helped and we are looking forward to testing again on Monday and Tuesday (July 28-29),’ Allmendinger said. ‘We tested at Sonoma Raceway and it showed it helped. So, we’re doing the same for Watkins Glen. We will run through a plan and have a good baseline. We know the track will not be the same when we go back, but we are looking to find a good balance to make sure when we get there, we have some good ideas to work through practice. It’s pretty basic. Testing Watkins Glen is all about getting a good balance and good ideas for the car when we go back in a few weeks.’(JTG Daugherty Racing), Richard Petty Motorsports will also be testing at the same time.(7-23-2014)
