Final part of Indy testing begins today.
NASCAR Nextel Cup Series testing will resumes at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway today (Monday) with 12 drivers, including past Brickyard 400 winners Dale Jarrett and Bill Elliott and former NASCAR champions Tony Stewart and Terry Labonte, scheduled to test.
Should all 12 teams provisionally entered to participate in the two-day test turn up, it would bring the number of teams to have travelled to the 2.5-mile quad oval in recent weeks to 37.
