NASCAR Cup Series teams head to Dover Motor Speedway this weekend for the NASCAR All-Star Race, where they will run the same Goodyear Racing Eagle left-side tire that debuted at Bristol Motor Speedway in April, and the same right-side tire used at Dover last year.<\/p>\n
That right-side tire was designed specifically for the Monster Mile\u2019s ever-changing concrete surface and hasn\u2019t been used since the series visited the Delaware venue in July last year.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeams will be able to combine their data from Bristol in April with their running from Dover last season to optimize their setups ahead of this weekend,\u201d said Rick Heinrich, Goodyear NASCAR product manager. \u201cWe are bringing a tire setup specifically designed to withstand the track\u2019s high speeds and heavy loads, while also helping lay rubber on its concrete surface, particularly given how smooth it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Goodyear Racing Eagle tires will play an enhanced role this weekend with the addition of the Pit Crew Challenge during Saturday\u2019s qualifying session, a format that combines traditional qualifying laps with a timed four-tire pit stop to determine the starting order for the race.<\/p>\n
Teams in the NASCAR O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will run the same left-side tires they used earlier this season at Darlington Raceway, Rockingham Speedway and Bristol, paired with a new right-side tire designed to withstand the track\u2019s high speeds and heavy loads. Both series will also use inner liners, as is customary on tracks one-mile and longer.<\/p>\n
Goodyear Racing Eagle tires are also in action this weekend at the Route 66 NHRA Nationals in Illinois, and at the N\u00fcrburgring 24 Hours in Germany.<\/p>\n
