The Goodyear Racing Eagle tire setup for this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Nashville Superspeedway features the same left- and right-side tire combinations used in last weekend’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
This marks the sixth time Cup Series teams have raced this setup this season, following races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Darlington Raceway, Kansas Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, and Charlotte.
“One of our main goals at concrete tracks like Nashville is to rubber in the racing surface,” said Rick Heinrich, Goodyear NASCAR product manager. “Concrete surfaces always present a challenge when it comes to taking rubber, so we design the tread compounds to do that as quickly and consistently as possible. This will be the sixth race this season that teams use this setup designed for intermediate tracks, and we’ve been pleased with its performance at similar high-speed ovals.”
Teams in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will run the left-side tire used at Charlotte last weekend, paired with the right-side tire used two weeks ago at Dover Motor Speedway. As is standard on tracks one mile and longer, the 15-inch tires will also feature inner liners.
Goodyear Racing Eagle tires are also in action this weekend in the NHRA Potomac Nationals at Maryland International Raceway.
