Goodyear is debuting a new, softer option tire at North Wilkesboro. As far as Denny Hamlin is concerned, they have done their job. NASCAR needs a new tire to get the short track package to improve and it might finally be here. Since the Bristol mishap or happy accident as I like to call it, tires have been the talk of short tracks. The tires are too hard and don’t wear down enough at a majority of short tracks now. Goodyear thinks they have the solution. During the All-Star Race weekend, Denny Hamlin and the other NASCAR drivers will use the primary tire and the option tire. That primary tire ...

Dale Earnhardt Jr. said Wednesday he believes the 2025 NASCAR In-Season Tournament will be “phenomenal” for the sport in giving drivers another opportunity to claim a “big-ticket item.” “There will be three seeding races that will determine how drivers are seeded for the tournament in the Amazon package,” Earnhardt said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “So, the five-race Amazon package the last three races — those races will determine how drivers are seeded against each other which I think will be fun because some drivers could have a terrible little stretch there and actually get a favorable seed. I...

This weekend we are going to see NASCAR use an “option” tire for the All-Star Race. Denny Hamlin wants it to succeed. But, what does success look like? Well, the driver had thoughts on that as well. NASCAR will have the “prime” tire which is the regular, yellow-walled short track tire. Then they will have the “option” tire. A softer tire compound that will likely be quicker than the prime tires, but only for so long. Other motorsports utilize multiple tire options. The only difference is NASCAR will make teams use both kinds of tires. After the Dover race, Denny Hamlin talked about the All-Sta...
