Seven large steps have been completed in the 2007 debut of the Car of Tomorrow – NASCAR’s next-generation race car.
Now, the eighth step awaits in Sunday’s LENOX Industrial Tools 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway.
And after last week’s road-course debut at Infineon Raceway complete, NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series teams will enjoy a bit of déjà vu this week.
New Hampshire’s 1.058-mile surface is similar to those at Phoenix International Raceway and Richmond International Raceway, so crew chiefs have the luxury of building on already-thick notes.
Teams will run 16 of this year’s 36 events with the new car – a seven-year project of NASCAR’s Research & Development Center. Earlier, on May 22, NASCAR announced the car will run fulltime in 2008.
