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! :-)

They’re throwing competition yellows every 10-12 green flag laps due to lousy tars.

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.

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.

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.

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

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