O.k..So Goodyear brings a lousy racing tire and the fans have to suffer along with every NASCAR driver on the Atlanta Motor Speedway.
The word of the day was Loose,Loose and more loose as Crew chief and drivers alike had to figure a way to hook-up at the Kobalt Tools 500.
With the average lap speeds down at least 8 miles per hour slower than in previous years ,We stock car racing fans got to watch the"Car of Tomorrow" slip sliding away all day long.What is amazing is that only one of the 43 starters of the race ended up crashing out.Elliot Sadler spun off the corner several times until finally wrecking the race car to end his day.
Despite finishing in second place behind eventual race winner and Gibbs racing team mate Kyle Busch,Tony Stewart would like to rid Nascar of Goodyear tires.Stewart says "Goodyear should be embarrassed" for bringing the racing tire that they did.
I'd have to agree with that assessment.This is not the first time drivers and racefans have had to deal with lousy racing due to a tire compound that was either too soft or too hard for the racing surface.
Do you remember when Hoosier Tire tried to enter the Nascar racing game?Those racing tires never gave out and provided plenty of grip for the drivers.
I can understand Nascar allowing only one tire provider per season because they want to keep the competition as close and exciting for the racing fan as possible however,this weekends race was a fiasco.
What is your thoughts on the subject?
