With five races left to make the Chase, Stewart-Haas Racing is doing what it can get to get Tony Stewart a win. One thing the team won’t be doing, though, is testing at a NASCAR Sprint Cup track before the Chase field set. It’s not that the team didn’t want to, it just couldn’t make it work, said Greg Zipadelli, vice president of competition at Stewart-Haas Racing. ‘We tried to go to Atlanta,’ Zipadelli said of a track before the Chase. ‘We couldn’t get it worked out. We tried a couple of other places. It’s become very difficult getting four drivers on the same schedule to come and test because they’ve got so many appearance, so much stuff that they do for track promotions and NASCAR. It’s insane.’ With all four tests at Cup tracks available, Stewart-Haas Racing will test test Aug. 25-26 at Chicagoland Speedway and Sept. 2-3 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The team also plans to save a test for the finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway and is deciding where to have the fourth test, possibly Martinsville Speedway or Texas Motor Speedway.(Motor Racing Network)(8-10-2014)
