Following the Advocare 500 Sprint Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Greg Stucker, Goodyears director of racing, commented on the tires run at the race: ‘Without question, the debut of our multi-zone tread technology at Atlanta was a success. The right-side tire “ with the firmer, heat resistant compound on the inboard portion of the tire and the more tractive compound on the outboard “ enabled the cars to put on great races in both the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series. In fact, in the Cup race, we saw several full fuel runs with great performance and lap times faster than what weve run here in the recent past. Certainly this confirms our plan to utilize this technology for the October race weekend in Kansas, and actively evaluate its application at other tracks.”(Goodyear Racing PR)
