NASCAR Cup Series – Race No. 11 – 267 laps / 400.5 milesTexas Motor Speedway (1.5-mile oval) – Fort Worth, Tex.
Fast Facts for May 3-4, 2025
Tire: Goodyear Eagle 18-inch Speedway Radials
Set limits: Cup: 1 set for practice, 1 set for qualifying and 9 sets for the race (8 race sets plus 1 set transferred from qualifying)
Tire Codes: Left-side — D-5184; Right-side — D-5222
Tire Circumference: Left-side — 2,263 mm (89.09 in.); Right-side — 2,277 mm (89.65 in.)
Minimum Recommended Inflation: Left Front — 20 psi; Left Rear — 22 psi; Right Front — 50 psi; Right Rear — 46 psi
Notes – Slight change to left-side tire for Cup teams at Texas: Being on 18-inch bead diameter tires, NASCAR Cup teams will run a different tire set-up than those in the Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series at Texas this week . . . this is the same right-side tire that Cup teams have run at Texas since 2023 . . . this is a different left-side tire code than Cup teams ran at this track last season (compound change for more tire wear and lap-time fall-off) . . .Cup teams ran this same tire set-up at Las Vegas, Homestead and Darlington earlier this season and are scheduled to run it again at Kansas next week . . . with this 18-inch tire, and its lower profile sidewall, NASCAR Cup cars do not run inner liners in any of their tires.
Goodyear quote – Stu Grant, Goodyear general manager of global race tires: “The Cup Series embarks on a two-race stretch at intermediate tracks at Texas this week. Texas provides a great challenge for teams with its high speeds and high loads. Grip will also be at a premium, though teams will be on a tire set-up they have a lot of experience on, having run it three times already this season.”

I love the fact that we are going into Texas with half the drivers in the top 10 in points driving a Chevy...and 4 of them are Hendrick Chevy's.

Four of the top seven are not Hendrick Chevys...and those four account for almost 1/2 of that manufacturer's car count.I love the fact that we are going into Texas with half the drivers in the top 10 in points driving a Chevy...and 4 of them are Hendrick Chevy's.
