Unfortunately I think those that are predicting red flags are probably right. It really looks like Goodyear missed the mark on this one.
My personal opinion is that if we are dealing with a smaller fuel cell which means more pit stops then it is a bad idea to bring a tire that is so hard that it does not drive well.
I have always read these threads post race, but today Im on travel with my hotel TV and Trackpass so maybe I can contribute more.
Oh, and GO JUNIOR! :)

What can I say. I remember the day of bias ply tires.
That was back when the tires were tires and you adjusted your game plan to compensate for it. Now it seems to be the other way around.

...and don't ask me why.
Yeah, I read about that too. It seems that the track resurfacing is not only a bit rough, but at the same time the increase in banking and the increased speeds as a result has amplified the problem.
From what Ive heard its not a problem of grip as far as the track surface is concerned as much as it is the tires that Goodyear brought to compensate for the increased speeds.
This should be interesting. I just hope for a safe race.

I think they had that many during qualifying. LOL! ;-)
First they bellyache about them being too soft and blowing up and now they're too hard and you can't go 190 in the corners.
I also wonder how much input Nascar had in Goodyear's decision to bring a harder tar and slow them down. Of course, we'll never hear that part of the equation.

Yes. My final answer is nine. I thought I would throw caution into the wind and go with it.
It also looks like the usual desert wind is blowing today.
Hambones interview shows that anyway.
Hope Mac's fire didn't go out on his grill.
