NASCAR to allow testing at tracks

NASCAR will allow teams to test next season at tracks that host regional touring events.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR will allow teams to test next season at tracks that host regional touring events.

NASCAR made the announcement on Wednesday. It’s a change from the cost-cutting policy that went into effect this season, when all tracks that hosted any NASCAR-sanctioned events were off limits for testing.

Next year, NASCAR will only ban facilities that host national series events.

Among the tracks that teams can use next season are Greenville-Pickens Speedway in South Carolina, South Boston Speedway in Virginia and Toyota Speedway at Irwindale.
