FONTANA, Calif. -- Nextel Cup Series teams are in the process of being visited by a NASCAR representative bearing blueprints for the "car of tomorrow," which is set to debut on a limited basis in 2007.
"We've been giving them out. We've been making shop trips with [NASCAR official] Randy Hedger over the past few weeks, trying to finalize all that with the teams," NASCAR Vice President Robin Pemberton said Friday afternoon at California Speedway.
Pemberton added that Gary Nelson, who'd been heading up the car's development for NASCAR, will now begin accompanying Hedger to visit the teams. Earlier this week, Nelson left NASCAR to begin his own company; which signed NASCAR as its first client.
The only areas of the car not finalized involved the wing and front splitter configuration.
"We're trying to make our adjustments based off the team information when we do our track tests," Pemberton said.
Track tests are tentatively set for March 27 at Bristol and April 3 at Martinsville.
