Car of Tomorrow to be tested at Talladega
Quote selected text Published June 21st, 2007 in NASCAR News
NASCAR’s decision to schedule a car-of-tomorrow test at Talladega Sept. 11, just after the Richmond cutoff for the Chase for the Championship, is probably a wise move, considering the troubles that the Talladega 500 Oct. 7 could present.
NASCAR officials had pushed hard for teams to approve a car-of-tomorrow test at either Charlotte or Atlanta, to prepare for next year’s even trickier car-of-tomorrow runs at the tour’s midsize speedways. Brett Bodine, who, as director of cost research, is heading NASCAR’s car-of-tomorrow program, continues to wax enthusiastic about the car, despite a high center of gravity that makes it a bear in the turns.
“The original design of the car of tomorrow has many characteristics of the current road-course car,” Bodine said, “particularly in the fact that both are more symmetrical than the current (standard) oval-track cars.”
- No ‘Car of Tomorrow’ at Talladega
- Budweiser Shootout might be run with Car of Tomorrow
- Car of Tomorrow gets set to run at Talladega
- ‘Car of Tomorrow’ testing successful at Iowa
- ‘Car of Tomorrow’ tests at Talladega today, some drivers less than impressed
The testing at ‘Dega is crucial. What happens with the COT at that track scares me. My guess is we’ll learn a great deal more than what Bodine’s “just drink the Kool-aid” comments are going to tell us.
