Teams in both the NASCAR Nextel Cup and Busch Series will run the same tire codes this weekend . . . this is the first time Goodyear has brought this specific combination of left- and right-side tires to the track . . . this left-side code (D-4076) is new to the Goodyear tire lineup and was tested during the Busch Series’ open test at Las Vegas in February . . . this right-side code (D-4022) was designed for the new track surface at Charlotte and run successfully at that track in 2006 . . . while this left-side is unique to Las Vegas, this right-side is scheduled to be run at Charlotte again this season . . . as on all NASCAR ovals greater than one mile in length, teams are required to run inner liners in all four tire positions at Las Vegas . . . air pressure in those inner liners should be 12-25 psi greater than that of the outer tire. Estimated Pit Window: Every 36-39 laps, based on fuel mileage (Nextel Cup — 13-gallon fuel cell).(Goodyear PR), for full report see my Las Vegas Race Info/Rundown page.(3-9-2007)
