The defending race champion, a veteran with a new team and two of NASCAR's young guns are scheduled to take part in a two-day Goodyear tire test Wednesday and Thursday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Carl Edwards, who won this year's Sprint Cup event at Las Vegas, will be joined by Mark Martin, Brian Vickers and David Stremme for testing this week.

For Martin, it will be a chance to get acquainted with Hendrick Motorsports' No. 5 Chevrolet, which he will drive in the 2009 season. Vickers will be in the Red Bull Toyota, and Stremme will be in his new Penske Dodge. Stremme has replaced Ryan Newman in the No. 12 car for next season.

Goodyear and race teams will be testing in preparation for the March 1 Shelby 427 Sprint Cup Series race.
