They’re taking a tire off of the alitel car I think it was, and as the crew member cast it aside, the tire grindings practically showered off of it.

This would be awful to sit and watch live. Me, here in my living room, I don’t think it’s all that awful. No one is getting hurt, (they aren’t taking any crazy chances) so I’m free to enjoy to enjoy the whole (unintended) spectacle.

Tony’s on now :)

Tars are wearing out to the cords about every 8-10 laps. NASCAR has been calling competition yellows to try and keep crashes to a minimum. Now they are running out of tars and may need to use spare Pocono one which are even a softer compound.

[Abigail Adams]

Wow! Have there been a lot of blown “tars”? Thanks!

[VRWC For Truth]

I'm guessing they'll throw a caution and green/white checker with like two laps to go. A fitting end to a televised test session.

[Abigail Adams]

Running out of tires? Holy cow! Thanks.

[GRRRRR]

Goodyear tires messed up the tire compound somehow.
The tires are wearing horribly, turning into dust!
Right rear tires are BLOWING UP and Nascar is having to call for yellow flags every ten laps or so to allow the teams to check the safety of their tires.

Very, very bad situation for Nascar.

That Nascar fanfeedback email address goes directly to the same place the ones I send to Bill Nelson D-FL goes.

[Poser]

“Can someone tell me why this race is the worst ever? I don’t have cable and I’m trying to figure out what’s going on. Thanks! :-)”

The tires are lasting only 10 laps. NASCAR is throwing a yellow every 10 laps. They are going to run out of tires and have to use the Pocono tires.

Dale Jr. is discussing which of the cars in front of him are going to crash because they only took two tires.

[Abigail Adams]

Thank you very much! (I wish we had cable!)

[Floratina]

I love Indy mucho. My next fave is TALLEDEGA, then Pocono and Daytona, FWIW...

[Abigail Adams]

Thanks! Those tars must be really messed up.

[Purrcival]

It’s all about the dad-gum tars. They keep wearin’ out.

I think someone said earlier that nascar.com is streaming this thing?

[Dad yer funny]

yup , Smoke was very “measured” , becuz he is still OK , ... if he gets knocked-out becuz of a tar mishap , he’ll be yammerin’ like a perp on COPS

[Roccus]

A couple, but they’re all down to cords at the yellows. It also means that a lot of drivers are are going less than 100%.

[glock rocks]

It also means that a lot of drivers are are going less than 100%.

Yes it does... I sure hope we don't lose anyone nearing the end when they start to put it on the line...
