Nine NASCAR Sprint Cup teams shook down tires for Goodyear on Tuesday and Wednesday at Daytona International Speedway ahead of the race on Saturday, July 6.
Drivers that participated in both single-car runs and drafting sessions in the tire test were: Jamie McMurray (Earnhardt Ganassi Racing), Kasey Kahne/Regan Smith (Hendrick Motorsports), Danica Patrick (Stewart Haas Racing), Greg Biffle (Roush Fenway Racing), Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (Roush Fenway Racing), Michael McDowell (Joe Gibbs Racing), Trevor Bayne (Wood Brothers Racing), Austin Dillon (Circle Sport) and Carl Edwards (Roush Fenway Racing).
“Goodyear is looking for different compounds and different sidewall constructions and continue to learn about this race track and these cars and tires,” said Biffle, who won the Coke Zero 400 back in 2003.
“That's why we're here is to help Goodyear and it gives us a chance to learn some stuff, get some data, try a few things to get ready for the summer race.”
