BROOKLYN, Mich. – NASCAR has taken the engines of 11 cars in Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway to test at its Research and Development Center in Concord, N.C.
NASCAR periodically takes engines so it can see how much horsepower they produce.
The engines taken were from Jeff Gordon (Hendrick Motorsports/Chevrolet), Tony Stewart (Hendrick), Clint Bowyer (Earnhardt Childress Racing Technologies/Chevrolet), Juan Pablo Montoya (ECRT), Brian Vickers (Toyota Racing Development), David Reutimann (TRD), Denny Hamlin (Joe Gibbs Racing/Toyota), Carl Edwards (Roush-Yates Engines/Ford), Greg Biffle (Roush-Yates/Ford), Sam Hornish Jr. (Penske Racing/Dodge) and Elliott Sadler (Richard Petty Motorsports/Dodge).
