Sprint Cup drivers complete two-day tire test
Quote selected text Published December 13th, 2007 in NASCAR News
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams of Jeff Burton, Tony Stewart, Matt Kenseth, Kasey Kahne and Travis Kvapil concluded a two-day test session at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Wednesday. The Goodyear test was designed to help determine which tire will be used in the 2008 UAW-Dodge 400 on March 2, 2008.
Burton, driving teammate Kevin harvick’s No. 29 Richard Childress Racing entry, said that the new car offers different difficulties than the car that has traditionally been run at the track. The so-called car of tomorrow debuts at Las Vegas in 2008.
“It’s a lot to learn,” Burton said. “A lot of things are different, obviously, with the car. It’s quite a bit different animal, but all in all, I think it’s going pretty well. The speeds are faster than I thought they would be. When you factor in [the fact that] the track’s a year older and those kind of things, the speed’s quite a bit quicker than I thought it would be. All in all, it’s pretty positive.”
