Notes: Nextel Cup and Craftsman Truck teams will run the same tire codes this weekend, though the Cup tires will be branded "Goodyear Eagle" while the Truck tires will be branded "Goodyear Wrangler" . . . this is the same combination of left- and right-side tires that Goodyear brought to New Hampshire for the Nextel Cup Series earlier this season . . . Cup teams also ran this tire set-up last weekend at Richmond . . . this is Goodyear's intermediate tire set-up, and will be run on both Nextel Cup cars and Craftsman Trucks at Phoenix in 2006 . . .this combination has also been run by Truck Series teams at Gateway, Indianapolis Raceway Park, Mansfield, Memphis and Milwaukee this year . . . as on most NASCAR one-mile ovals, teams will not run liners in their tires at New Hampshire.
