Nationwide COT test at Richmond: UPDATE: The Nationwide Series begins a new era when its new car goes on track for the first of two scheduled tests Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 8-9, at Richmond International Raceway. Wednesday, Sept. 10, will be a rain date. Each of the four series manufacturers Chevy, Dodge, Ford and Toyota will be permitted to bring two cars. The drivers are to be announced but will be representative of their specific manufacturer.
