New Testing Policy Announced
Also new for 2006 is a track testing policy that sets a schedule for when and where NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series tests are to be conducted. The scheduled tests will be the only opportunities teams will have to test at Nextel Cup tracks. Teams will be able to schedule tests at facilities that do not host NASCAR NEXTEL Cup events.

There will be six test locations that include Lowe’s Motor Speedway, Daytona International Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Richmond International Raceway, Homestead-Miami Speedway and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Testing in Daytona will be conducted January 9-11 (even-numbered cars) and January 16-18 (odd-numbered cars). The Las Vegas tests will be January 30-February 1.

All other dates will be announced at a later time.

I like it a lot better too, in fact "IFI I was in charge of NASCAR I would ban all testing at Cup tracks and open the gates a day early for race weekend and let them test then.
 
I like it in principle, but no more tests at some tracks (like Atlanta) made me say what I did.
 
I can't really see your point Kat....if they can't test at Atlanta what is the big deal? Lets make it harder for these guys, let them get their super engineers to figure out why the car isn't performing the way it should. The way i look at it is, at this level you have the best of the best, so you should be able to deal with any problem that comes your way and find a solution to it. That is why these multi car teams have so many resources available to them......they have to or they wouldn't be successful. Limiting the tests or changing it in this case won't be a big deal to these guys, just a little inconvienence.

Mopar, it's all about $$$$ that comes into the area with published test dates and fan club meetings with the driversl I've attended a few and I guess it's all about ME. Selfish, he!! yeh. :D
 
Ban tests all together, then nobody can bitch. Bring what you got.
 
The bigger teams will still test every week at Kentucky, Gateway and all the other tracks that aren't NEXTEL CUP tracks
