I LOVE Bristol...

Remember when Goodyear sent in the same tires as they used the year before, when the rubber on the tire was shredding and coming off?

Goodyear had to swap all the tires for Nationwide & Cup races at the last minute. I think, NASCAR had to limit the tires each team recieved because Goodyear came up.

What a mess... I think it was this year... lol

The resurface that added another groove, but the CoT sucks too.
