Brazilian natives and open-wheel veterans Nelson Piquet Jr. and Vitor Meira both recently tested a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Toyota Tundra at the "Little Rock" short track at Rockingham Speedway for Red Horse Racing.
The one-day test was the first time behind the wheel of a stock car for Formula 1 driver Piquet, the son of former three-time Formula One world champion Nelson Piquet; and IndyCar Series veteran Meira.
Red Horse Racing fielded two No. 1 Toyotas for Piquet and Meira to test on the short track, which was built as a copy of the Truck Series' next venue, Martinsville Speedway in Virginia.
Red Horse drivers Timothy Peters and T.J. Bell will also be on hand to help the open-wheel drivers acclimate to their first stock car test.
