2016 NASCAR thread

Lmao, their tires have been awesome, I love the racing seeing tire fall off. Tire pressure and camber set ups for every car is different, too much camber causes premature tire wear, every team can set up their car how they want and they know the risks, a couple teams had tire issues cause they pushed it too far, majority of every team this season has had no tire issues and the racing has been great.

 

Calm down. Damn. I just hate Kryle Busch. As long as he or Lagano don't win, it's an OK race. Hate to see Johnson win...but it's better than the 18 or 22.

 

But if you want to be real about it, nascar has sucked ass for years now.

 

This year has been great so far IMO.

 

Double digit blown tires in inexcusable... F1 doesn't have that problem with pirelli. But Goodyear claims to make the god like racing tires, too many bblown tires for that attitude. Tire fall off is good for strategy, but the nonstop tire blowing is on Goodyear...

 

Minus Jimmy Johnson green white checker wins... Makes watching every lap all weekend a waste...

 

That's a lot of butthurt for a Sunday afternoon.

 

Just give Goodyear some time, new aero package wears the tire differently than any other year, I said earlier that tire issues were gonna be there early in the season.

 

The "France show" needs Goodyear tires to drop off too create excitement in a "bland landscape"............

Hell , todays news has "other manufacturers" showing interest in Nascar but must "Fit in" $$$$$$$$$

 

Yeah, but the Goodyear rep gave an attitude during his interview and I get the feeling the tires weren't really that greatly prepared.

 

well whhen you can countdown laps to a blown tire... Piss poor. Bass season is hot right now...and you can countdown until they bite...

 

It's a conspiracy against kyle busch!

 

No, but when 1/4th of the field blows a tire, there's a problem. Goodyear has one job, and they failed it.

 

I don't remember 25% of the field blowing a tire, unless there were only 8 cars racing today.

 

Larson,blaney,Busch,buesher, and others.

 

Busch, Buesher were the only ones with tire failures. Others pitted reporting vibrations but were later told no signs of tire damage FYI. And Larson reported debris on track a lap before his tire cut, and Larson said he felt it was cut and didn't just blow out. Vickers and Blaney had contact with the wall causing tire issues, Kahne had a puncture.

 

They actually couldn't tell if the tires went down first, also when putting, several tires were melted and falling apart.

 

Doesn't matter, it was less than the 2014 race and there weren't that many failures to warrant any concern. This track has ALWAYS had tire issues come up because of the high speeds entering corners with multiple grooves. Nothing new this year.

 

Yeah,but Goodyear has been piss poor the past 2 years. How come f1 tires don't blow like these?
