Four drivers will participate in a Goodyear tire test Sept. 13 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in preparation for NASCAR’s final Sprint Cup race of the season.
The test, which will be on the Monday after Richmond, includes four drivers not expected to make the Chase For The Sprint Cup.
Hendrick Motorsports’ Dale Earnhardt Jr. (Chevrolet), Penske Racing’s Brad Keselowski (Dodge), Richard Petty Motorsports’ AJ Allmendinger (Ford) and Joe Gibbs Racing’s Joey Logano (Toyota) will participate in the test, according to the track.
Goodyear tries to use drivers who are not in the Chase for the tests at Chase tracks so drivers in the playoff race do not gain an advantage.
