TEAM CHEVY IN THE GARAGE MICHIGAN INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY – PAT SUHY –MANAGER, CHEVROLET RACING – OVAL TRACK GROUP:

“The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will get to experience their second week in a row of racing on a newly repaved track when the tour arrives at Michigan International Speedway this week. As with last week at the repaved Pocono track, there will be time for testing before the official race weekend gets underway. The teams will get six hours of track time on Thursday to learn as much as they can about how the new surface interacts with the new left and right-side tire codes that will be run here. The few teams that participated in Goodyear’s tire test in April will already have a leg-up on the competition given the fact that they’ve already experienced the new combination of pavement and tires.

“Tests like this are a mixed bag for the teams. On one hand it allows them to make only one trip to the track and is probably more cost-efficient. On the other hand it becomes a ‘fire drill’ for the teams and engineering groups to gather as much data as possible in the six hours of track testing on Thursday. They will provide the data to their engineers, who will be expected to perform their analysis and possibly some physical testing on the seven post rig back at the shop; and then have results packaged-up for the crew chiefs and car engineers before the official race weekend gets underway the very next day.

“Our line-up of Team Chevy Sprint Cup teams has shown over time that they’re the best in the business when it comes to getting it done on the race track. I’m confident that we’ll see at least a few of our teams running up front and putting themselves in position to collect Chevrolet’s seventh win of the season on Sunday.”
