so the question would have had it where drivers cant go flat out and have to take care of the tires, I thought it would've been a great chess match but Nascar handed the teams a freebie.
and don't say nascar does anything for Safety, because in reality they don't, have they done anything to talladega after the outcry over half the drivers said to Nascar and the trackBrian France is a violation of Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing)

The solution is for NASCAR to leave Indy. NASCAR doesn't need it.

If you can't talk without throwing insults you won't be welcome in the NASCAR forum.
Consider this a warning as I won't bother with a PM & start an off the board argument.

FYI the famous Indianapolis track hosted the worst NASCAR race of 2008.
If Goodyear can't make a tire to stay together @ Indy, then they need to work with Firestone ...
or NASCAR should leave the Brickyard & move the race someplace else where the racing would be better2008 ESPN Stockcar Challenge MSF Champion :D

the problem isn't goodyear though, it was the car.
Nascar should bring back the old car for this race only and the problem would disappear, they never had tire problems with that car, but when the CoT made its first actual race last year, thats where the problem stemmed.
or I say they run the Road course sectionBrian France is a violation of Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing)

Sorry, I didn't mean to be offensive with the hillbilly comment. My point is Kentucky Speedway is an new & unknown track in in the country in Kentucky, and yet another mile-and-a-half track. It may deserve a race, but not Indy's!
Goodyear needs to make a better tire, NASCAR requires the inner liner, and then leave it up to to the drivers & crews to setup & drive to make the tires last.
The mandatory cautions just enabled teams to continue using their fast but unreasonably aggressive setups.N.Hayden L.Hamilton D.Earnhardt R.Gordon S.Speed T.Stewart J.P.Montoya G.Rahal Ferrari Lotus

At 65 years old retirement is a very real option.
