Well all the practices were in the heat of the day so it not really surprising that they didn’t fall off as expected

Regress do original Treaded tires. Equaling less contact patch?

Less grip

Uno-Tread

I agree with that as well because Tony wanted him so bad on his team and when that didn’t happen I think Tony was on his way out after that. Especially the fact ford wouldn’t take Kyle

I think the tire they brought will be perfect at any other short track if they are running at a track temp of 90 degrees or more.
I don’t care what they said about the abrasiveness they tried to get in the new pavement, it’s still new pavement and was never going to create excessive wear, especially at night with a 70 or so degree track temp.
They need to make another, even softer, tire for new pavement and low track temp races.
They also should bring at least two options to every race and select the one that will wear the fastest based on raceday conditions, in case it is significantly hotter/colder than expected.

@@pdxholmes F1 is nothing but gimmicks! The biggest 1 is having to use 2 different tire compounds. Now Nascar is trying to copy that garbage!

That timed with Gene’s focus to F1, its been downhill from there.

Plus NASCAR decided to have a dirt race at Bristol and didn’t consider running it at Tony’s track Eldora.
