    D-Day? It is an important milestone, no doubt. But there is a lot of time before the first oval race to continue testing beyond what occurs tomorrow.

    Apparently only at the start of the season. Implying it is a possibility later if deemed necessary.

    That simply can not be, you must have read the stop watch wrong. Anthonyvop has spoken and he says that the new car is a dog. How can it possibly go any faster than the old car?

    Well I know Anthony is the expert but some guy who probably doesn't know much says:


    "Franchitti was one of several drivers participating in Monday's test. He said the new car will definitely break the Barber track record of 119.213 mph set in 2009 by Will Power.
    "We're going to see significantly faster lap times here at Barber," he said. "Some of that is lighter weight, more downforce, engines producing more power with having Honda, Chevy and Lotus. I definitely expect it to be faster on the road courses."
