Trulli to test NASCAR on Wednesday
Jarno Trulli will make his test debut in a Sprint Cup NASCAR at Florida's New Smyrna Speedway on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, another familiar F1 name was at the wheel of the
Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota Camry, and a report in the Orlando Sentinal said
Mika Salo "caught on quickly".
After
Juan Pablo Montoya made the switch in 2006, and
Nelson Piquet Jr recently tested a racer of the lesser
Truck Series, Red Horse Racing team owner Tom DeLoach said signing
non-American drivers like Piquet "
could open up a new market" in US stock car racing.
"There are
200 million people in Brazil on the east coast time zone, and
Nelson there is like Dale (Earnhardt) Jr. here," DeLoach is quoted as saying by USA Today.
"Competing against F1 as a truck owner, I know I'm outmatched, but I think I could make it happen.
F1 is in a lot of turmoil," he added.
