Not so fast. I wonder if they use a No.2 pencil on that rulebook? o_O

NASCAR's Senior Vice President for Innovation and Racing Development Gene Stefanyshyn commented today on a statement by Roush Fenway Racing co-owner Jack Roush that the sanctioning body's ban on independent testing in 2015 may not be cast in stone. "I think the final word on testing for next year has not been uttered yet by NASCAR," said Roush on Sirius XM NASCAR Radio's Dialed In yesterday (Wed, Oct 29th). "My understanding is there is substantial resistance from Goodyear on what's... on the table right now in terms of their being able to supply the tires for the number of teams that NASCAR anticipates going to the Goodyear tire tests. I will be less surprised if it changes than if it stays the way it is"
Stefanyshyn appeared to lend credence to those comments today (Thurs, Oct 30th), saying in a written release, "When we announced on Sept. 23 the rules package for the 2015 season, we stated that we were eliminating all team testing and would be working with Goodyear to build a unified testing plan in which the teams could participate. We currently are working through that process and have had on-going discussions with Goodyear to develop a proposal that we will share with the teams in the near future."

I don't think this qualifies as a "waffle" since it's Goodyear who is possibly forcing NASCAR to change their stance. If Goodyear can't supply enought tires for everyone at the tire tests NASCAR has no choice but to modify it's testing policy. New information changes things and rightly so.

Perhaps it's a blue waffle?
 
I'm pretty sure they mentioned the GY exception when they talked about changes for next year.
 
Sounds like a no brainer to me . If Nascar is going to ban independent tests, then I am sending every car and driver that I can to the Goodyear tests and put in as many laps as possible . Goodyear wasn't planning on that kind of action . Are they still allowed to test at non-nascar tracks?
