Goodyear quote – Stu Grant, Goodyear general manager of global race tires: “The Cup Series embarks on a two-race stretch at intermediate tracks at Texas this week. Texas provides a great challenge for teams with its high speeds and high loads. Grip will also be at a premium, though teams will be on a tire set-up they have a lot of experience on, having run it three times already this season.”
