Goodyear reconfirmed this tire set-up at a tire test at Phoenix on October 12-13 . . . drivers participating in that test were #47-A.J. Allmendinger, #41-Kurt Busch, #20-Matt Kenseth and #2-Brad Keselowski . . . for Camping World Truck teams, they ran this left-side tire code at Phoenix last year, but this is the first time running this right-side code . . . compared to what the trucks ran here last fall, this right-side tire features a construction change and a compound change to enhance grip and help rubber-in the track . . . as on most NASCAR ovals one mile or less in length, teams will not run inner liners in their tires at Phoenix.
