NASCAR Cup Series teams will use the same Goodyear Racing Eagle tire setup at Phoenix Raceway this weekend that was used at the Arizona track for November\u2019s Championship Race.<\/p>\n
The right-side tire was raced at Bowman Gray Stadium in February; the left-side tire will be making its 2026 debut. In addition to Phoenix 2025, this tire setup was also used at Bowman Gray, Martinsville Speedway (spring), North Wilkesboro Speedway, Richmond Raceway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway last year.<\/p>\n
NASCAR O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts Series teams will run a new left-side tire at Phoenix, paired with the right-side tire used last season at Phoenix and World Wide Technology Raceway.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Goodyear Racing Eagle tire setup we\u2019ve brought for NASCAR Cup Series teams this weekend was proven on track last season, and the knowledge teams gained will allow them to focus on their performance this weekend,\u201d said Justin Fantozzi, Goodyear Director of Racing for the Americas. \u201cThe new left-side tire for O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts Series teams includes a change to the tread rubber. This change is in line with the refinements we\u2019ve made to our short-track Cup Series package to promote more fall-off and better racing between cars.\u201d<\/p>\n
Teams in both series will also have wet-weather tires available if needed.<\/p>\n
