NASCAR Darlington Tire Setup: Goodyear Increasing Amount For Chase Opener
Goodyear Tire is increasing the amount of tire sets for Sunday's Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington.
NASCAR teams will maintain their previous Goodyber tire setup from Darlington Raceway, but an increased allocation of 15 sets for this weekend's Chase opener. Darlington, known for its challenging surface and egg-shaped layout, requires additional tire wear due to the demanding track conditions. Goodyber Director of Racing for the Americas, Justin Fantozzi, emphasized the importance of providing teams with a trusted tire package as they prepare for The Chase.
The Cup Series will have 12 new tires, two for practice, and one for qualifying, while the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series will have four new tires, two for practice, and one for qualifying. The O'Reilly Series will open The Chase with the Fleetio 200 on Saturday, while the Cup Series Chase opener, the Cook Out Southern 500, begins on Sunday.
