Now with all that out of the way.....Let's make some laps!
Red Bull Racing Team development driver Cole Whitt tested at Greenville- Pickens Speedway on Tuesday in preparation for the NASCAR K&N Series East opener March 27. Whitt, an 18-year-old from Alpine, Calif., drove the No. 84 Red Bull Toyota for 162 laps around the half-mile oval in the upstate of South Carolina.
Our test went really well, and Im pretty excited to go back to Greenville to actually race, Whitt said. We focused a lot yesterday on race setup and getting our car good for long runs. We have a little bit more work to do at the race shop, but we think it will really pay off on race day.
Whitts only other stock car test took place March 1 at South Boston (Va.) Speedway the second stop on the K&N East schedule.
Cole has far exceeded our expectations each time hes tested, said RBRTs Elton Sawyer. Both the 2008 and 2009 K&N Pro Series East champions were also at the test, so we had a good baseline for comparison. For the Greenville race, well need to work on getting the car a little bit better for long runs. That race will be all about tire management and being patient.
