Terry Cook's Toyota (59) is at the head of the line of trucks pitting on the back straight at the Bristol Motor Speedway NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series test. In all, 31 trucks took part in the test.

The infield at Bristol Motor Speedway remained virtually unchanged - still cramped and crowded with race haulers and service buildings (media center in at left).

Truck Series driver Terry Cook puts a level and a digital angle finder to work to determine the banking of the new Bristol Motor Speedway for his HT Motorsports Team engineering data.

It's hard to imagine Bristol Motor Speedway as an 18,000-seat, asphalt paved oval, but that's exactly what it was when it opened in 1961. Today, the track features 160,000 seats and a new concrete racing surface.
