Goodyear Quote -- Mark Keto, Lead Engineer, Stock Car Racing: "The tire set-up we are bringing to Charlotte has been in development for two years -- being tested first in August of 2002 with Kurt Busch, Ricky Craven and Ryan Newman; then again last April with Dale Jarrett and Jimmie Johnson. Basically, these tires are slightly softer on the right-side and significantly softer on the left-side than those we have brought to Charlotte over the past couple years."
