CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—Dale Jarrett on Tuesday called on Goodyear to listen carefully to Tony Stewart’s complaints about the tires the company has produced this season.

Although some drivers believe Stewart went overboard in his criticism of Goodyear following Sunday’s race in Atlanta, Jarrett said the manufacturer needs to start constructing a better tire for Sprint Cup racing.

“I have no problem with what Tony Stewart said. I’m a huge supporter of Goodyear and all that they have done over the years, but somebody needs to wake up right now and listen to these guys,” said Jarrett, the former series champion who is retiring following Sunday’s race in Bristol, Tenn.

“We’re talking about race drivers that have a huge amount of talent and very seldom complain about things like that.”

I'm beginning to get the impression that maybe Tony has a point.

I agree. If you've got Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon complaining about your tires, you'd be a fool to turn a deaf ear.

For sure.

The two best drivers in the sport...maybe someone should give them a listen.

I agree. Seems like the only people that differ are Helton and Goodyear, what else is new.
