Kyle Busch, Edwards among those set to participate in Nationwide test at RIR
RICHMOND, Va. – A tentative lineup of drivers has been announced for the two-day NASCAR Nationwide Series new car test scheduled to begin Monday at Richmond International Raceway.
Chevrolet tentatively will have Scott Wimmer (Richard Childress Racing) and Morgan Shepherd (Davis Motorsports). Ford will have teammates Carl Edwards and David Ragan (Roush Fenway Racing) on Monday, with truck series teammates Erik Darnell and Colin Braun (Roush Fenway) on Tuesday. Dodge will have Bryan Clauson (Chip Ganassi Racing), and Toyota will have a couple of Michael Waltrip Racing cars with David Reutimann, Josh Wise and Kyle Busch sharing the driving duties.
This is the first on-track test that will include all manufacturers for the new Nationwide car, which is scheduled to debut in 2010. It will be similar to the new Sprint Cup car but will have a spoiler instead of a rear wing and other slight modifications.
