'Dega Testing

The Car of Tomorrow will take action at 16 Cup races next year, offering a car that promises to be safer, better performing, and more efficient to tune (accountant speak for lower price tag). The untrained eye might notice the spoiler has been replaced with a rear wing, the front bumper is taller and more box-like with a front-end splitter below, and the windshield sits more upright (or maybe that’s more for the trained eye). Mike Skinner, Toyota-powered Truck Series competitor, tested TRB’s COT yesterday at Talladega working on single-car runs before an afternoon drafting session. Skinner bumped, drafted and ran with thirteen cars on track, but was careful not to knock Jimmie Johnson or Dale Jr. off the track.
