Goodyear To Make Tire Change For Sunday’s Quicken Loans 400
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Race At Michigan International Speedway
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (June 15, 2012) – Goodyear will make a tire
change for Sunday’s Quicken Loans 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at
Michigan International Speedway. The decision was made Friday evening
after teams had tires that were blistering following
Friday’s practice sessions at the newly-repaved 2.0-mile track.
Goodyear will bring a tougher left side tire from Charlotte that the
teams will use in Sunday’s event. The teams will qualify Saturday as
scheduled at 1:10 p.m. ET with the tires previously allotted by
Goodyear. Following the NASCAR Nationwide Series race,
the teams will be given a 75-minute practice session with the new left
side tires that will start at approximately 6 p.m.
“With the new repave here at Michigan, coupled with the high
temperatures we’re seeing this weekend, we feel this change will help us
put on the best race possible on Sunday,” said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR
Vice President of Competition.
