Car of Tomorrow test

| | Comments (0) |

Most of the NASCAR Nextel Cup drivers will be leaving Michigan and heading to Bristol Motor Speedway for the next race. But a handful are staying behind at Michigan International Speedway to test the Car of Tomorrow.
NASCAR's next generation of stock car will be on the track for four hours on Monday. Twelve Cup drivers, including Sunday's Michigan winner Matt Kenseth, will get the opportunity to test the new race cars.
The test session runs for a three-hour period, noon to 3 p.m. Central time, and another one-hour period starting at 4 p.m.
Some drivers who have already seen the Car of Tomorrow haven't said many nice things about it. One driver even said he wouldn't get in one until he had to, next year.
We'll hear soon enough what the likes of Kenseth, Jeff Gordon and Ryan Newman have to say about the new cars.
Joe Nemechek, Denny Hamlin, Kurt Busch, Bill Elliott, Michael Waltrip, David Stremme, Scott Riggs, J.J. Yeley and Jeff Green are also scheduled to test the Car of Tomorrow.
