Tire Notes & Quotes:
- The tire set-up for Bowman Gray is the same as the fall 2024 NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville.
- Like the option tire set-up introduced at North Wilkesboro and Richmond in 2024, this set-up was designed as part of Goodyear’s effort to develop new short track set-ups.
- Goodyear’s last time at Bowman Gray was for a test during the 2021 season. The test was conducted in preparation for the inaugural LA Coliseum Clash. During the test, Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Clint Bowyer were behind the wheel of the Next Gen car
“Teams will be focused on racing and battling for track position. We look forward to learning at Bowman Gray and applying that knowledge to our short-track tire package going forward,” said Stu Grant, general manager for global race tires at Goodyear.
