General Discussion » What is really wrong with Dale Jr
Only JR knows. He's always said he does not like the COT car. And I think that is stuck in his head. Eventually he will get it and accept it. ( I HOPE ).
NASCAR officials most likely won't allow unlimited Cup testing

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – NASCAR most likely won’t allow the Sprint Cup teams to do unlimited testing, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Director John Darby confirmed today prior to the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.
Darby met with crew chiefs last week to ask them to think about what the testing rules should be. Currently, teams can’t test at tracks where the Cup series races except for during the scheduled NASCAR-sanctioned tests. At that time, officials said that all options were on the table, including unlimited testing.
The idea of unlimited testing sparked debate in the garage over the cost for teams.
“The general consensus is, and we were knowing this going in, that unlimited testing doesn’t work for anybody,” Darby said. “It sounds good and all of the rest of that, but from a financial standpoint and actual labor standpoint, it gets a little bit impractical.
“The teams are still wanting some boundaries and some limits and we’re entertaining all of that and we’re looking at reconfiguring all of the test policy or how the testing is issued to the different teams and stuff.”
Darby said he has a long list of ideas, including possible limits per organization and not per team.
“Those are all the different ideas that are coming back,” Darby said. “We’ll sit down with the gang again in Chicago and see if we can get closer to putting stuff on paper.”
