Notes – Cup teams on different tire set-up at Pocono this year: Being on 18-inch bead diameter tires, NASCAR Cup teams will run a different tire set-up than those in the NASCAR Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series at Pocono this weekend . . . Cup teams are on different left- and right-side tire codes than they ran at Pocono last season, with compound changes on both sides of the car to introduce more tire wear and lap-time fall-off . . . Cup teams have already run this same left-side tire code at Las Vegas, Homestead, Darlington, Texas, Kansas and Nashville this season . . . these teams first ran this right-side tire code at Indianapolis last season . . . with this 18-inch tire, and its lower profile sidewall, NASCAR Cup cars do not run inner liners in any of their tires.
Goodyear quote – Stu Grant, Goodyear’s general manager of global race tires: “Pocono is perhaps the most unique track we have on the NASCAR circuit. With three distinct corners and straightaways, teams face a choice of setting up their cars where they feel they can make the most time. We have a new tire set-up for the Cup cars this year, one with more grip and more fall-off, which should make for a great race for the fans.”

Notes – Xfinity, Trucks return to Pocono on 2024 tire set-up: Being on 15-inch bead diameter tires, NASCAR Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series teams will run a different tire set-up than those in the Cup Series at Pocono this weekend . . . this is the same left-side tire that these teams have run at Pocono since 2022 with a right-side tire that was added to the set-up in 2024 . . . Xfinity teams will run this same tire set-up at Indianapolis next month . . . these teams have run this left-side with different right-sides at Homestead, Darlington (Xfinity only), Bristol and Rockingham earlier this season . . . as on all NASCAR ovals greater than one mile in length, Xfinity and Truck teams are required to run liners in all four tire positions at Pocono . . . air pressure in those inner liners should be 12-25 psi greater than that of the outer tire.
