2002 Daytona Testing Jan 14-17th

Speeds, Stories, Links and Images

Testing at Daytona: NASCAR announced it has changed how it will conduct pre-Daytona 500 testing in January. Previously each manufacturer has been scheduled two testing days and a make-up day for bad weather. Starting next season, all car makes will be bunched together. Winston Cup teams with odd numbers in year-end car owner points will test Jan. 7-9, with Jan. 10 as a rain date. Teams with even numbers in owner points will test Jan. 14-16, with Jan. 17 as a rain date.(That's Racin')
NOTE: Testing is free to the public with access through the lobby of DAYTONA USA.(Daytona Intl Speedway site)(10-22/11-30-2001)

2002 Daytona 500 Specs

Officials for NASCAR have announced specifications teams can use in testing for the 2002 Daytona 500:
Beginning with the first NASCAR Winston Cup Series test session on Jan. 7, all manufacturers will use restrictor plate size with 7/8th-inch openings. Measurements for the rear spoilers on the Dodge Intrepid, Ford Taurus and Pontiac Grand Prix will be 6 ˝ inches tall by 57 inches wide at 55 degrees. Measurements for the Chevy Monte Carlo will be the same as those mentioned above except that the rear spoiler height will be 6 Ľ inches tall.

NASCAR also said that the leading edge of the front air dam for the Ford Taurus must not extend more than 1 ˝ inches forward of the bumper (an increase from their previous measurement of one inch). The Dodge Intrepid (1 ˝ inches forward of the bumper), Chevy Monte Carlo (2 ˝ inches forward of the bumper) and the Pontiac Grand Prix (1/2 inch forward of the bumper) all remain the same.

NASCAR officials will make a final decision regarding rules for the Daytona 500 after January testing is completed.

Teams will be allowed to change engines following qualifying to be used in competition for the Daytona 500. However, all internal engine parts must conform to the minimum weights for the 2002 season.

In addition, NASCAR has approved the use of the PPI composite seat. In years past, only seats comprised of aluminum materials have been approved for use.(NASCAR PR)(1-7-2002)

2002 Daytona 500 Speeds - Both Sessions - All Drivers
One-Lap Qualifying Speeds January 2002

Rusty and Andy test Spolier: With permission from NASCAR, #2-Rusty Wallace and #28-Andy Hillenburg (subbing for Ricky Rudd) made three more runs once testing concluded at 5:00pm. The teams wanted to find out what it would take to speed up their Tauruses. After one lap around the track, the two teams took one-quarter inch off the rear spoiler. Then, after another lap, the same amount was taken off again. Wallace said he was a little disappointed with the results. "We picked up 3.3 tenths of a second, I was hoping we would pick up four," Wallace said afterwards. "NASCAR thought it would pick up five tenths." Currently, the Ford spoiler is 57 inches wide and six-and-a-half inches tall. Dodges have the same size. Chevrolets have a 57-inch by six-and-a-quarter inch spoiler.(NASCAR.com)(1-18-200)

2002 Daytona 500 Speeds - Jan 17th - Day 3 - Afternoon - Drafting Speeds

Cup Testing at Daytona is OVER - Wallace fastest Thursday: The second wave of Winston Cup testing wrapped up on Thursday and Mike Wallace, driving the #33 Andy Petree Racing Chevy, was the fastest with a lap of 184.302mph turned in the afternoon drafting session. Wallace will be making an attempt to qualify for the 44th annual Daytona 500 on Feb. 17, but the team is still seeking a sponsor. He believes the team's performance during the test will help in that pursuit. "There was a couple of (sponsors) here (Tuesday) that say they are interested in something," Wallace said. "But as Andy has and myself and the team, we've heard that before." Wallace will have a hectic schedule during Speedweeks 2002. He'll compete in the Feb. 15 Florida Dodge Dealers 250 CTS race driving for [#52] Kenny Schrader. He'll race his in the EAS/GNC Live Well 300 in a car owned by himself and Fred Biagi and he'll take a shot at making the field for the Daytona 500 with APR. Beyond Daytona, Wallace says the only thing solid in his schedule are about 10 BGN races.
Rounding out the top-five speeds were #9-Bill Elliott (184.298), #41-Jimmy Spencer (184.222), #18-Bobby Labonte (184.207) and #17-Matt Kenseth (184.185). All of those speeds were posted during Thursday's afternoon drafting session.
Excluding speeds from the final drafting sessions from each wave Winston Cup testing, Raybestos Rookie of the Year candidate Jimmie Johnson, in the #48 Lowe's Chevy, posted the best one-lap qualifying speed with a lap of 183.816mph.(DIS PR).

Mayfield fastest on Wednesday: NASCAR Winston Cup Series testing continued Wednesday at Daytona International Speedway with the Evernham Motorsports teams capturing headlines once again. Jeremy Mayfield recorded the fastest lap of this week's session with a lap of 183.221mph in today's afternoon session. Teammate Casey Atwood, driving the #7 Sirius Dodge, was second quickest in the afternoon practice with a lap of 183.091 mph. "It just goes to show that we're one team racing three cars," said Mayfield's crew chief Sammy Johns referring to the teams of Mayfield, Atwood and Bill Elliott. "We share our information. There are no secrets when it comes to bodies, aero numbers, anything. We're doing all we can testing what we've got. We're not playing games. We're just testing what we need to test. We're pretty close to being there right now, it's just going to take some working on it. The whole race team is excited." Defending Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip posted the fastest lap time in the morning session at 183.102 mph. Waltrip also posted the second-fastest lap (183.038 mph) in the same car in which he finished second in last July's Pepsi 400 at the famous 2.5-mile tri-oval in the morning session. Johnny Benson was the fastest Pontiac on the day with a lap of 181.748 mph. Rusty Wallace - the day's fastest Ford (181.452 mph) - was 15th fastest overall. Kenny Brack, who won four races and six poles before finishing second in the 2001 CART point standings, has been testing for car owner Chip Ganassi. Brack is hoping to compete in this year's Daytona 500 and talked about his first time in a NASCAR Winston Cup Series car. Other surprises on the day included Mike Wallace who was fifth fastest in the afternoon practice with a lap of 182.534 mph. Wallace, driving for Andy Petree Racing, is looking to continue running the No. 33 Chevrolet after the Daytona 500 with the help of sponsorship. A total of 31 drivers participated in Wednesday's sessions, with the following breakdown via makes: 10 in Dodges, nine in Fords, eight in Chevrolets and four in Pontiacs. Teams with even-number car owner-point finishes will wrap-up testing for NASCAR Winston Cup Series teams on Thursday. Sessions are scheduled from 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m.-5 p.m. NASCAR officials expect to see teams drafting in the afternoon practices.(NASCAR PR)(1-16-2002)

Elliott fast Tuesday but...UPDATE: hearing #9-Bill Elliott posted a lap of 187.052mph, but that the team had the wrong restrictor plate mounted on the intake (sorry, no idea what size). Supposedly the Winston Cup officials had been all over that car after Elliott brought it in(1-15-2002)
UPDATE: Bill Elliott ran a blistering lap at 187.052 mph during Tuesday's test session, more than 4 mph faster than last week's best test speed. But the lap wasn't allowed after it was discovered the team had used last season's restrictor plate. "I'm walking around holding my breath because I'm about to be one less guy here," said team owner Ray Evernham. "I just don't put up with stuff like that. There's no excuse." Last year, plates with a fifteeen-sixteenths-inch openings were used to slow Winston Cup cars. The correct size this season is seventh-eighths of an inch, also #81-Earnhardt was third fastest at mid-day with a speed og 181.609mph(1-15-2002)

Waltrip fastest in AM testing on Wed: #15-Michael Waltrip was the fastest Wednesday morning with a speed of 183.102mph. 2nd fastest was #19-Jeremy Mayfield at 182.778 and 3rd was #33-Mike Wallace with a speed of 182.678.(That's Racin')(1-16-2002)

The fastest Pontiac was #10-Johnny Benson who was 7th at 181.668. Fastest Ford was the #28 Ford drivin by Andy Hillenburg, who was 14th fastest of the 9 Fords.(1-15-2002)

NASCAR.com: Daytona Test Speeds - Tuesday(1-15-2002)
