Anybody else catch the race? I just got back in the house to catch the last 30 laps but Kyle Busch one in his Toyota.

Best part was my man Smoke speaking up about the crap tires that Goodyear has been supplying them.... He speaks the truth whether anybody wants to hear it or not.... No wonder I like him!!!!

See how good he is with some Fire Stones He may be all Talk

Well, Goodyear is out of F1 racing, out of IRL racing, I don't know of anyone running them on dirt tracks.... The race tires are still made here, but the engineers must be on drugs!!!!! As for street tires, many of the import tire companies offer a better tire at a lower price, especially on the higher speed rated tires!!!! Big deal with NASCAR is that Goodyear has a monopoly as a tire supplier, no competition for sales so no real need to worry about product quality. The chassis guys and drivers are getting the new car dialed in, no reason Goodyear can't keep up with the tires!!!!!

There are very, very few people with half the success in racing as Tony Stewart..... Do you even watch or study NASCAR racing???? Look how many cars have been toast already this year due to tire problems!!!!

As for the Firestones, they have some very good road race tires. Michelin and Pirelli are battling it out in most of the road race venues, but Firestone is making a dent in the market.....

BTW, the comments he made are about race tires, not the stuff we buy at the local tire store.... Huge difference....

I watch some of them races . But never did like any of that Round and Round racing . I go for heads up drag racing . And yes I have raced Lots of cars for Lots of years . Kind a Like you

As Smoke said. GoodBoot is out of everything but NASCAR. I think that Hoosier should get a shot. They shod Arca.

I'm sure you have.......

I'd like to see it get away from the one tire rule at NASCAR tracks...some good competition would only serve to make the product better....

I wonder what NASCAR will do to Tony now? I'm sure Brian France and MIke Helton are having a s#!t-fit about now. Somebody said what he thought without their permission. Go Tony!

Well, they did say before the start of the season that they were going to let the driver's display their real personality this year.............. Smoke does have a way of livening things up, doesn't he?????

Toyotas first and second. That sure made my day . . . . not!
I'm really getting tired about commercial breaks every few minutes. I may have to start watching in a mirror so that they make right turns all day. At least it would be something different.

out of everything but nhra and nascar, goodyear sucks.

We switched to Hoosiers 3 years ago, never get me to buy another Goodyear slick, the Hoosiers are soooooooo much better.

PS--- we did save the Goodyears, they work great on the car for winter storage!!!!!

Hey Dave, one time when I was driving a midget for this cantankerous old fart on this nasty old horse track at some old county fairgrounds I came in throwing a fit about the track,it was terrible dusty and had a hole comin outa 2 so big ya couldn't miss it and it hurt like heck every time ya went thru it. Old Stoogie looked at me and said Boy, That tracks the same for every s.o.b. out there and if you don't wanta drive this sum***** that kid over yonder will.... I ran 3rd in the feature that night.. But your right they need fix the monopoly,a little competition would cure the tire problems.

One thing with the junk tires, the guys with the dirt burnin' experience seem to be able to handle it much better..... Heck, I guess you should be able to do a slide job on asphalt too, right?????
