Potential Testing
While NASCAR's testing ban is set to continue for the 2010 season, Goodyear held a tire test November 2, 2009, to consider tires, and allowed all teams to test.
In light of the 2009 AMP Energy 500, where two cars were involved in violent crashes (with Ryan Newman's blowover on lap 184 and Mark Martin's flip on lap 190), NASCAR officials said November 23, 2009, during the joint Nationwide/Camping World Truck banquet in Miami they are contemplating a test at Daytona prior to the teams arriving in February 2010 in order to test potential changes to prevent a recurrence of the incidents at Talladega in November 2009.
