  1. I don’t understand why tires on NASCAR cars blow out at any speed but INDY style cars run 220 very few failures. Time to get rid of Goodyears?

    1. Thanks for reading John. I don’t think this was a Goodyear problem directly. I also do not believe the failure rate in NASCAR related to a tire construction or quality issue is any higher than other forms of motorsports. Goodyear racing tires in NASCAR are rated to 220 mph. McMurray was only estimated to be doing about 210 when this incident occured.
