Stewart and Gordon to skip Daytona test
Quote selected text Published January 2nd, 2007 in NASCAR News
Drivers Tony Stewart and Robby Gordon don’t plan to attend the preseason NASCAR Nextel Cup testing session scheduled to begin Monday at Daytona International Speedway.
Stewart did not test at the track in 2005 and 2006 and once again will skip the session with approval from his team. Daytona testing typically means more for crews to get the cars set up right than it does for the drivers.
Veteran racer Mike McLaughlin will test the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Chevrolet for Stewart.
Gordon is competing in the Dakar Rally, which runs Jan. 6-21 through seven countries in Europe and Africa. Gordon, who has made the switch from Chevrolet to Ford, likely will be replaced by P.J. Jones for the test session.

I understand the basis for writing the article. But TECHNICALLY it is the “Off season”, there are other things the guys are doing. Watched Tony race in Ft Wayne on Saturday…and Lord Robby runs all over the globe. So as long as the teams got it figured out…then that’s all that should matter right?
