NASCAR Cancels Something
HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- NASCAR will implement a no-testing policy next season in order to save millions of dollars during a massive downturn in the U.S. economy.
NASCAR officials met with teams' crew chiefs Friday morning at Homestead-Miami Speedway to inform them of the change.
All tracks that have NASCAR events in the top three series -- Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Craftsman Trucks, which will be renamed Camping World Trucks next season -- are included in the testing ban.
The change also is included Daytona International Speedway and the traditional two weeks of test sessions in January before the '09 season begins.
"It has pluses and minuses," said Pat Tryson, crew chief for the No. 2 Dodge driven by Kurt Busch. "Times are tough right now, so it's probably not that bad a thing for most people. It's the same for everybody. It may make the racing better with nobody having the opportunity to test."
I have no idea what any of this means. All I know is, less NASCAR is good news.
Will they be included in the auto industry bailout?
