First thing I thought of was ride around in the back and stay on the lead lap and save tires...soon as I thought that they said it doesn't matter how fast you go they wear out just as fast even if you don't lean on the car.

Of course you might could stay on the lead lap at half throttle with caution laps every 8 laps witht his long a track.

This has now become a safety issue... look what happened to the back of Kenseth's car. That's the worst I've seen from a tire blowin up.

[Loki309]

Yeah they will push it back. What blew out the rear right side of his car? Was it just the force of the tire blowing?

What a horrible race. I wonder if the fans are going to want their money back like F1 a couple of years ago.

I know I would. Anyone have a break down for number of laps under green vs. number under yellow?

[Mindwarp]

I never thought I'd say this but, cancel the race already, this is a disaster.

[wardfan]

obviously this is no longer a race. Just call it at 100 laps. How the hell can Goodyear make a tire that only last 10 laps. THIS SUCKS

Nope, but I'd bet it's fairly even

Something tells me they're considering it.

I don't think they said, Did JR get the lucky dog?

[bob101]

I would want my money back. It's turning into a pit stop competition.

I'm not going to knock goodyear or NASCAR but things like this happen I udnerstand this as a racer myself.

However, at some point you have to weigh the safety and "experience" and say enough is enough. It's hard to weigh against 250,000 people in the stands who demand to see a good race and TV who has already paid to see a race.....of course NASCAR always says safety first.

Right now the NASCAR officals are between a rock and a very very hard place.

Thought the same thing when I saw Pemberton walking thru the pits who normally 100% of the time is in the tower running the race.

I'll bet they allow testing next year and will bring a different tire next year. this isn't racing at all.

It isn't the tire. It's the darn new race car! We wanted them to put a stop to the follow-the-leader racing. Congrats! They did. They gave us a demolition derby!

Yeah, and talking with all the crew chiefs, too. But they haven't pulled the plug. Yet.

They better. The fan backlash over this is going to be loud and brutal.
