Notes: This is the first time Goodyear has brought this specific combination of tires to Watkins Glen . . . Nextel Cup teams ran the same tire code in all four tire positions at The Glen in 2003, but will run different codes on the front and rear at the track in 2004 . . . Cup teams have already run this same combination at the series' other road course at Infineon Raceway in June . . . while this rear tire is unique to the series' two road courses, Cup teams ran this front-tire (D-6836) on the right side at Martinsville earlier this season . . . as at Infineon, Nextel Cup teams will not run inner liners in their tires at Watkins Glen.
