NASCAR announces testing policy for tracks in 2010

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR on Wednesday announced its 2010 testing policy for its three national and two regional touring series.

Greenville-Pickens Speedway; Tri-County Motor Speedway; South Boston Speedway; Thompson International Speedway; Music City Motorplex; Adirondack International Speedway; Lime Rock Park; Thunder Hill Raceway; All American Speedway; Madera Speedway; Douglas County Speedway; Toyota Speedway at Irwindale; Portland International Raceway; Miller Motorsports Park; Colorado National Speedway.
