Goodyear conducted a tire test last week at Homestead in preparation for the season finale November 20. Jeff Burton, Bobby Labonte and Jeff Green tested a variety of tires, but it’s likely Goodyear will run the same compound the teams use at Texas. Burton says, “It’s a challenge for Goodyear to find the perfect tire because the entry of the corners is a lot different from other tracks because of the multiple grooves and the variable banking.” Goodyear says it will offer a product that has more grip.(Sporting News)(9-19-2005)
