Fox News
NASCAR veterans Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Clint Bowyer will text the Next Gen Cup Series car at Bowman Gray stadium on Tuesday.
The historic and unusual stadium is a dual-use facility that has a football field the Winston-Salem State University Rams call home surrounded by a quarter-mile car racing track.
NASCAR team owner Stewart will be acting as an official test driver for Goodyear to determine what tires will be used for its debut at the NASCAR Clash exhibition race in February, which will be held on a temporary quarter-mile oval built inside of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, according to Fox Sports reporter Bob Pockrass.
Earnhardt and Boyer are being offered seat time that will provide them with insight for their roles as NASCAR analysts.
