Due to NASCAR's 2009 testing ban, the Monster Mile has been quieter than usual this summer ... but it only takes one lap to wake the monster!

The sounds of 850-horsepower engines have brought the track to life on what would typically be a lazy summer day in Dover, Del. Several drivers from the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series are on track as part of a Goodyear tire test on August 4 and 5 in preparation for the upcoming Sept. 25-27, 2009 "Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup" race weekend.
