"Nearly all of the crashes were caused by blown tires; not necessarily the fault of the tire supplier, Goodyear, most drivers argued, but the result of speeds generating more heat and abuse than the tires could withstand."

Sounds like a cop-out to me. The track has been in it's current state since the spring. They held a 600-mile race there at the end of May and what, nobody has been out there testing? All I can say is "BuschSh!t" Goodyear engineering failed.... again.

The easy answer to the tire problems(complaints) would be to allow several manufactures to furnish tires. The competition would be good for the sport and good for consumers as well.
