With economy hurting budgets, NASCAR bans testing to save money

HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- NASCAR will implement a no-testing policy next season in
order to save millions of dollars during a massive downturn in the U.S.
economy.

NASCAR officials met with teams' crew chiefs Friday morning at
Homestead-Miami Speedway to inform them of the change. The official
announcement is expected later today.

All tracks that have NASCAR events in the top three series -- Sprint Cup,
Nationwide and Camping World Trucks -- are expected to be included in the
testing ban.

The change also is expected to include Daytona International Speedway and
the traditional two weeks of test sessions in January before the '09 season
begins.
