The NASCAR Cup Series will run an established Goodyear Racing Eagle short track setup at Martinsville Speedway this Sunday.
This setup has run at the Virginia track since last fall, when a new left-side tire was introduced to produce more fall-off than its predecessor. Since the spring race at Martinsville, teams have raced these Eagles at North Wilkesboro Speedway, Richmond Raceway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The right-side tire also ran two weeks ago at Phoenix Raceway.
Both the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series run setups that are unique to Martinsville.
“Teams across NASCAR’s three national series know their Goodyear Racing Eagles well heading into this weekend at Martinsville,” said Rick Heinrich, Goodyear NASCAR product manager. “The track’s tight concrete corners and long asphalt straightaways make it a different challenge compared with other short tracks, so having familiar tires allows teams to focus on their setup and strategy as they approach the Championship Race.”
Goodyear Racing Eagles are also in action this weekend at the NHRA National event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
