Darlington producing 200-mph tests
Posted: Friday March 14, 2008 08:31AM ET
What a difference a paving makes: 200 miles per hour. That's how fast the Sprint Cup Series cars ran during Goodyear tire tests earlier this week at historic Darlington Raceway. That's not a mis-print. The Chevrolet of Jeff Gordon, the Ford of Greg Biffle and the Dodge of Daytona 500 winner Ryan Newman were all clocked unofficially at 200 mph at the end of this old track's smooth, newly re-paved backstretch. Darlington Raceway President Chris Browning almost couldn't believe it himself.

Report Offensive Comment200 at "THE LADY IN BLACK" will be off the hook. The cars and the cushioning walls are so much better today, i say let them run at those speeds.

Report Offensive CommentI get so sick and tired of all the Gordon haters. Every one is supposed to bow at the alter that is Dale Jr. and refer to Jeff Gordon as the anti-Christ. Well, I call Jr. a false idol because he sure hasn't come through for his believers. Whereas Mr. Gordon, yes, MR Gordon, has 4 freakin' championships and more wins than Jr's dad. Come on guys. Every one jumped on me when I started saying things about Jr. but I'm supposed to sit back and just take all this hate about my favorite driver. NASCAR on FN is do as I say not as I do.
One of the reasons I stopped coming on this site so much anymore.
