Goodyear Fast Facts — Indianapolis
After a return to racing on Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s oval last year, NASCAR is back at the Brickyard this weekend. The Goodyear Racing Eagle tire setup ready for the NASCAR Cup Series has been updated compared to 12 months ago.
Cup Series teams will race on the same right side tire as at Indianapolis last year and Pocono a few weeks ago, but the left side tire hasn’t been used at this track before. It’s the same tire raced at Charlotte and Michigan earlier this season, and is designed for more lap-time fall-off.
“Building off last year’s successful return to oval racing at Indianapolis, we have an updated left side tire, which we’ve already seen at other tracks this year,” said Rick Heinrich, Goodyear NASCAR product manager. “Our right side Goodyear Racing Eagle tire was designed for the return to Brickyard last year, and more recently delivered at Pocono.”
