That is Dec 15th, 16th for clarification.
The resurfaced track (remember the delays for paving repair at last year's Daytona 500) will host 18 NASCAR Sprint Cup teams Dec. 15 and 16. Among the drivers participating will be Hendrick drivers Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Jeff Burton. Paul Menard will be there for Childress Racing, Jamie McMurray and Juan Pablo Montoya for Earnhardt-Ganassi, Matt Kenseth and David Ragan for Roush Racing, and Kurt Busch and Brad Keselowski for Penske Racing. Oddly enough, no one from the Gibbs, Michael Waltrip, or Red Bull Toyota teams is on the testing list.
EDIT: The illustrious redfisher will be there collecting freebies!! LOL
I am planning a mini vacation, but not until the 17th. May try and move it up and go.
