Goodyear officials have postponed this week’s two-day tire test scheduled at Michigan International Speedway due to the chance of inclement weather.
The test originally was scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. A new date for the test has yet to be determined.
Three Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series teams were slated to take part — the Richard Childress Racing No. 27 Chevrolet with driver Paul Menard, the No. 10 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford with Danica Patrick and the Furniture Row Racing No. 78 Toyota with driver Martin Truex Jr.
MIS, a wide, two-mile oval located in Brooklyn, Michigan, will host the Firekeepers Casino 400 June 18 and the Pure Michigan 400 on August 13.
This week’s test would have been the second of 2017 for the NASCAR’s official tire supplier. Additional tests are scheduled for Indianapolis (April 25-26), Kentucky (May 9-10) and Chicago (June 6-7).
A Goodyear tire test scheduled for Atlanta in August is expected to be canceled now that track officials have announced they will delay a repaving project for the 1.54-mile venue.
