After discussing the upcoming season with crew chiefs at recent races NASCAR officials announced the 2010 track testing policy, for the three top-tier series and two regional series.
Basically, other than official tests, no testing would be allowed where there were series points paying races.
The announcement stated: “the policy will again prohibit testing at tracks which host NASCAR national series events, by teams in the following series: NASCAR Sprint Cup; NASCAR Nationwide; NASCAR Camping World Truck; NASCAR Camping World East; and NASCAR Camping World West.”
An exemption was made to allow teams to race at venues that host regional series events, but not national series events.
The following tracks are now eligible to host tests:
Greenville-Pickens Speedway; Tri-County Motor Speedway; South Boston Speedway; Thompson International Speedway; Adirondack International Speedway; Lime Rock Park; Thunder Hill Raceway; All American Speedway; Madera Speedway; Douglas County Speedway; Toyota Speedway at Irwindale; Portland International Raceway; Miller Motorsports Park; Colorado National Speedway.
