Chicagoland Speedway tire test set for this week


Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers Chase Elliott (Hendrick Motorsports), David Ragan (Front Row Motorsports) and Daniel Suarez (Joe Gibbs Racing) are scheduled to take part in a two-day Goodyear tire test Tuesday and Wednesday, June 6-7, at Chicagoland Speedway.

The development test is for the ’17 tire that will be used when the series kicks off this year’s playoffs at the 1.5-mile track Sept. 17.

Admission to the test is free for fans who have purchased tickets to the Tales of the Turtles 400. A $10 donation to Racing Advocates for Community Enrichment (R.A.C.E.) will admit those who have yet to purchase race tickets.

Additional Goodyear tire tests are scheduled for Michigan and Darlington next month.
