Goodyear tires? will see what hapens sunday at texas speedway, probably there is going to be more accidentes like that, and I hope everything is going to get better!!
 
Michael McDowell's wreck had NOTHING to do with tires. There was Speedy Dry on the track and he got into it and lost it.

And, this may be the first weekend of the year that everyone hasn't been complaining about tires.
 
So far there have been no tire complaints this weekend. Not even Tony Stewart has said anything, and that's new for him! Goodyear may have hit the mark this weekend with the Cup cars. I've heard a couple of gripes from Nationwide drivers, but we'll see how that plays out. So far the Nationwide race looks pretty good. Michael McDowell hit a patch of Speedy-Dry yesterday, it wasn't a tire problem. You can see that in the replays. You'll see the dust (not tire smoke) fly right before he gets loose and hits the wall.

Edit:
Tony Stewart just had a tire come apart for no apparent reason. Only about 10 laps on the tires. The Goodyear guys are inspecting it pretty closely. It didn't go down or blow out, it just lost a large part of the tread (tire separation). Hope this isn't a sign of things to come tomorrow.
 
It wasn't a tire issue, he just lost it their was speedy dry stuff on the track..I bet goodyear was relieved it had nothing to do with tires..But he is okay thats the best part, he walked away.
 
If that had been a problem with a tire, we would have heard an uproar from the drivers. McDowell's crash was a result of him getting into the Speedy Dry, and then doing the "rookie mistake" of trying to save it.
 
lol it wasn't speedy dry. it happened because when you go into the turn the tires become as if theres not too much weight on them and made it just go up the hill on the turn and then when he tried to straiten it back out...Well, that happened. Jeesh stop blaming it on goodyear, you go make a tire and show it to nascar, GL.
 
You can tell by the way the crash happened that it had nothing to do with the tires. If a tire had blown it would have been a much softer impact than he had. He just said on the radio that they are way to tight, so he tried a different line on the track. A combination of the different line, speedy dry, and entering the turn too fast caused him to get loose, he over corrected ( and at that speed how do you not just soil your pants I dont know) and the car snapped on four fully inflated tires and ran right up into the wall...

That was only his second lap, if the tires are that bad they would have found that out in practice. A lot of goodyear's problems have just come from the new C.O.T. platform, and lack of testing with it.
 
Yes, there are serious issues considering the tires and Goodyear needs to be producing their best tire week after week. But being a Jeff Burton fan, I think Micheal McDowell is having to many rookie mistakes and needs to find a different career other than Nascar racing. After what happened in Martinsville he needs a crash course in racing rules! If you get the 2 flags in an X shape that means move over and let the lead cars go by but he prevented Burton and Gordon from getting Hamlin. So to answer your question, Who cares what happens to the 00.
 
No doubt, you are a Tony Stewart fan, as you are already making excuses the way he does!
 
It wasnt Goodyears Fault--McDowell just lost control of his Car due to Inexperience with Sprint Cup COT Cars!!!!!
 
It wasn't a tire that blew.It was the sway bar that MWR stole from Jack Rousch that broke!!
