Goodyear officials and teams from four NASCAR Sprint Cup Series organizations are slated to travel to New Hampshire Motor Speedway this week for the final regularly scheduled tire test of 2016.
The two-day test, set for Tuesday, May 31 and Wednesday, June 1, will include the following drivers and teams: Dale Earnhardt Jr. (Hendrick Motorsports No 88 Chevrolet), Denny Hamlin (Joe Gibbs Racing No. 11 Toyota), Aric Almirola (Richard Petty Motorsports No. 43 Ford) and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (Roush Fenway Racing No. 17 Ford).
It is the season’s eighth tire test.
Organizational tests currently are scheduled for Kentucky Speedway (June 13-14), Indianapolis Motor Speedway (July 12-13), Watkins Glen International (July 26-27), Chicagoland Speedway (Aug. 23-24) and Homestead-Miami Speedway (Oct. 18-19).
Organizational tests are limited to one team per organization, meaning likely no more than 20 teams would take part in any single test.
