Was it the COT, the track, or the tires.?

May be...

  • Today I think it was the Tires!!!!!!
  • It's a combination of the COT and the tires, but most of the blame will fall on Goodyear. They're bringing a safe tire to the tracks bu the problem is that the drivers cannot race against each other. There is supposed to be a Goodyear tire test at Darlington on Monday and Tuesday. Jeff Gordon,. Greg Biffle and Ryan Newman are supposed to test the tire. It'll be interesting to see what Goodyear comes up with and whether or not it fits in with Darlington
  • Tires. GOODYEAR, came with the wrong compound...AGAIN!
  • I agree with Smoke and Dale Jr...Goodyear, come on get it together..Its a problem Goodyr doesn't have any competition in Nascar they supply all the tires, remember Goodyear got dumped in F1, IRL,Champ Car.. Get these tires right, no body would do any side by side racing today...Everyone at my place for the race viewing party enjoyed the food the most..No one really raced..Sorry, been to Atlanta a lot where was that great Atlanta finish we always have???? Congrats to Kyle Busch, but it would have been great to see him have to race for the win, I was bored.. God, I hope Bristol is better, hope Goodyear brings the right tires..PLEASE.
  • All 3.
  • I strongly feel it is the tires, especially on this track. there is a reason why Indy Car and the World of Outlaws have removed this tire from use. i think they should drop Goodyear and adapt Hoosier tires because so many racing sports have changed to Hoosier and have had no problems with them. i mean do you want to risk the drivers lives because of a faulty tire. they need to change tires before NASCAR has a fatality in an accident from an incident with a defective tire. this will be too late to change, then. Save someones life, change the official tire of NASCAR from Goodyear to Hoosier tire.
  • COT and Good Year tires...Good Year needs to get it together or just pull out of NASCAR like Tony Stewarts dieing for em to do
  • All the drivers were complaining about their tires. Kevin Harvick said it was like driving dirt track today, with all the cars "fishtailing" around the corners. It seems like the only way the top drivers could even compete against eachother was to make their cars "powerslide" coming out of the turns. I've never noticed so many cars having that problem in one race before. Tony Stewart thought it was the tires. Is the future of NASCAR going to be "drifting" in the corners?
  • I think is just the Difference between the old car and the new car.
  • Its probally a little of the COT and alot of the tires. Your right about all the fishtailing, Ive never seen that many cars doing that. I mean you see Tony, Kyle B, Greg Biffle doing it all the time because that's just the way they drive but to see drivers like Jeff Burton, Mark Martin and Jimmie Johnson doing it, its has to be the tires. There was just too much said this weekend about the tires so I have to believe it was Goodyear.
  • It did look like it was one of those "Drifting" races Ive seen on Speed. By the reactions from alot of the drivers it has to be the tires. I cant ever remember any other time that the drivers came down so hard on the tires. I mean every once in a while they complain about the tire but today they spoke in volumes about how bad the tires were. It wasn't just Tony, Dale Jr and Jeff Gordon threw in their opinions too.
