NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series teams will participate in a Goodyear tire test this week at Charlotte Motor Speedway in advance of Memorial Day weekend events there this May.
Three Cup Series teams will test Tuesday and Wednesday at the 1.5-mile track, with a trio of Xfinity Series teams joining the Tuesday portion of the test session.
The Goodyear test comes in advance of the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday, May 25, when the 66th edition of NASCAR’s longest event will kick off Amazon Prime’s five-race broadcast schedule. That weekend will also feature races for the Xfinity Series on Saturday, May 24, and both the Craftsman Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series on Friday, May 23.

Chase Briscoe, No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota
William Byron, No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet
