Homestead, Fla. ? NASCAR has suspended all testing at its sanctioned tracks next season in a cost-cutting measure that should help teams save several million dollars in their 2009 budgets.

The moratorium, announced Friday at Homestead-Miami Speedway, bans testing at any NASCAR-sanctioned track, including facilities where its low-level Camping World East and West series race.

“Hopefully, it’s a temporary situation,” said NASCAR president Mike Helton, who estimated the move would save “in the range of 10s of millions (of dollars) to the industry.”
