Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards, Sam Hornish Jr. and Paul Menard hit the track on Tuesday for a Day One of a two-day Goodyear tire test at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Earnhardt Jr. is pumped ... to be back on the track and for a chance to work with his new crew chief.
Over @CLTMotorSpdwy testing tires for @GoodyearRacing with @Ives_Greg and the 88 gang. Feels damn good to be at a racetrack. #whereibelong

As for his old crew chief ...

Hornish (who is replacing Marcos Ambrose at Richard Petty Motorsports) and Edwards (who signed with Joe Gibbs Racing in the off-season) also get a chance to work with their new crew chiefs.

Tires aren't the only thing being tested today. We're making sure Carl likes the way his seat & head supports fit. pic.twitter.com/pen1x1S2fh
