There are eight sets for the start of the race in addition to the set the qualified on but they will fade fast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in trouble,\u201d <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KellyCrandall\/status\/1956488414833881453\" rel=\"nofollow\">Keselowski said<\/a>. \u201cThe tire\u2019s supposed to be the option tire, it doesn\u2019t look like the option tire, it doesn\u2019t drive like the option tire. It\u2019s going to be harder to run more than 50 laps on it. If you look at the amount of tires we have, we have enough tires to go, I think it\u2019s like 45 laps a set. Rough math. Not enough. The math ain\u2019t mathing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI might be wrong. Maybe something will change and we\u2019ll get into nighttime and the tires will extend their life cycle more than what we\u2019ve seen in practice.
