The thing is he's dead on right.

Goodyear hasn't made a decent racing tire, even for Cup Cars, in
years.

Look around the smaller NASCAR tracks - Hoosier and
Firestone/Bridgestone - don't see Goodyear tires on anything.

Probably. The fact that NASCAR seems to be in the ridiculous fine
business lately, it's more than probable.

Add to that that he's absoutely right. The number of tire related
failures this year has been higher than it's ever been and it's been
high for the past four/five years. Add the new car to the mix (which
I think is a major mistake on the part of NASCAR), the outdated track
surfaces (only two major tracks have been redone this year and one
last year and none for the previous five years) and NASCAR's tendency
to be late to the party on diamond grinding surfaces, you get ****ed
off drivers.

Can't blame 'em.

He blasted them again AFTER the race. Said that he'd never raced on a
tire as bad as that in his career. Then he said, Goodyear bowed out of
IRL, bowed out of Outlaws, and now they need to get out of Spriint
because their tires are "crap"!

Five years ago, the old Busch and ARCA cars ran on Hossier, Goodyear
and Bridgestone tires. Then Goodyear got the exclusive supplier
contract and it's been downhill ever since.

He's dead on right.

Hoosier was in Winston Cup in the late 80's. Jeff Bodine won four
races in 89 with Hoosiers, and the Daytona 500 was won on Hoosiers
that year by DW. They got out because NASCAR came up with this tire
count rule that said that any tire manufacturer had to bring enough
tires to be able to supply the whole field. That meant that Hoosier
had to bring a couple of thousand tires to each race and couldn't
afford it.
