Today, 13 cars from 5 teams will test at Infineon Raceway. All three drivers from Andretti Autosport, Penske Racing and KV Racing Technology will be at the test representing Chevrolet while the two Ganassi teams and their four drivers will be representing the single-turbo Honda engine. As with the most recent test at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Lotus is absent. The cars will run the same rear-wing configuration as they did for the first two rounds of the championship at the test today. The package tested last week at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is only for the Speedway and Fontana. The test at Sonoma is free for fans to attend.
Rookie Test
At Texas Motor Speedway last week, rookies Josef Newgarden, Simon Pagenaud and two-time USAC National Driver's Champion, Bryan Clauson all completed their oval test program and will be allowed to race all ovals in the Izod IndyCar Series. Clauson was testing for Sarah Fisher-Hartman Racing as he looks to use his Road to Indy Scholarship to fund a car for this year's Indianapolis 500. Katherine Legge is the only remaining full-time rookie yet to complete the oval program, as well as Rubens Barrichello and both will have an opportunity to do it at the May 7th test at Texas Motor Speedway.
