Southern California area motorsports fans can get their first look at NASCAR’s Cars of Tomorrow at a two-day testing session for Sprint Cup Series cars Thursday and Friday [Today-Jan 31-Feb 1] at California Speedway. The session will put the car on the Fontana 2-mile oval for the first time.

The Auto Club 500 is Feb. 24 at California Speedway, a week after the Cup season opens with the Daytona 500. The sessions will be open to the public, with free grandstand seating. There will be access to the infield rooftops to fans who buy Auto Club 500 tickets by Thursday, or for a $5 donation to the NASCAR Foundation for those who haven’t bought tickets. Season-ticket holders who have renewed their seats for 2008 will have a question-and-answer session with #7-Robby Gordon after Friday’s testing is complete. Testing will open Thursday, with sessions 9 a.m.-noon, 1-5 p.m. and 6-9 p.m. There are two sessions scheduled for Friday: 9 a.m.-noon and 1-5.
