Expect soon to see some heat on Goodyear. I think they are actually a really awesome tire, but somebody in the engineering department is dropping the ball. All year they've had issues. As Dale Jr. said, "I tested tires here, so I guess blame me. The cords were showing after 5 laps at the test. So I don't know what they did with that data."
Makes you wonder?
After Tony Stewart drug them over hot coals Tony got the cold shoulder, this time Goodyear drug millions of fans over the coals. This heat may blister just a little. Truth is there may be some pink slips at the Goodyear office today.
I'm not calling for Hoosiers or Firestones, I'd just like to see the Goodyear boys (and not the ones on the line making them, the ones designing them) get it together.
Just because there isn't any competition doesn't mean they can slack.
I will, however, give them props for trying to handle the issue. They could have easily just handed it over to NASCAR and said, it's your problem. They didn't...they worked hard to make the best out of an embarrassing situation. I mean, it could have been worse.
Ok, maybe not.
Sidenote...how can you tell the difference between race fan and REAL race fan. A real race fan can spell Jimmie Johnson's name correctly. Makes me cringe when I see it spelled Jimmy...come on!
