After a dismal start to the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, team owner Chip Ganassi decided it was time to make some changes.
Fuel mileage races usually aren’t fun, but several factors — including the new car — changed that at Phoenix, says Darrell Waltrip.
In response to a growing demand for additional testing with the new car at intermediate tracks, NASCAR announced that they will allow Sprint Cup teams to test at Lowe’s Motor Speedway on May 5-6.
Chip Ganassi swapped crew chiefs for Juan Pablo Montoya and Reed Sorenson in an attempt to resuscitate his struggling NASCAR team on Tuesday.

“I really feel that these changes can be instrumental in moving Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates to the next level,” Ganassi said.
