Two days of NASCAR testing earlier this month at Indianapolis Motor Speedway didn't allay the fears of several teams that tire wear is going to be a problem at the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. Goodyear wasn't satisfied with the tire compound it brought for an initial test with three teams in April and summoned them back for a second test the week after the Indianapolis 500.

Ganassi Racing's Donnie Wingo, who will help train newcomer Juan Pablo Montoya this year and be his crew chief next year, believes the Formula One star initially will benefit more from testing than racing. Once Montoya is free of his F-1 contract, Wingo expects the Colombian to spend time at non-Nextel Cup tracks such as Lakeland, Fla., Kentucky and Nashville before competing.

Penalized by NASCAR for rough driving following a crash that involved Clint Bowyer and Carl Edwards on lap 32, Tony Stewart went a lap down and fell to 41st in the 43-car field. Stewart had begun his march forward by lap 68, when Edwards spun him out as the pair entered pit road. Although Edwards was cheered as he returned to the pits to serve his one-lap penalty, he was also chastised on the in-car radio by his team owner Jack Roush, who said, "You put yourself in a bind."

It would be an understatement to say that Front Row Motorsports is unhappy that NASCAR disallowed its qualifying time Friday, effectively bumping the No. 61 car driven by Chad Chaffin from the Pennsylvania 500. The team said that by not making the race it was effectively fined at least $70,000 -- what 43rd place would have paid. The team said roof-height violations have recently drawn fines of between $20,000 and $35,000 and 25-point reductions.
