GOODYEAR TIRE NOTES

NASCAR Nextel Cup Series -- Race No. 18 -- USG Sheetrock 400
NASCAR Busch Series -- Race No. 19 -- USG Durock 300
Chicagoland Speedway (1.5-mile oval) -- Joliet, Ill.

Fast Facts for July 7-9, 2006

Tire: Goodyear Eagle Speedway Radials

Number of Tires: Nextel Cup: Left-side -- 1,400, Right-side -- 1,400

Minimum Recommended Inflation: Left Front -- 22 psi; Left Rear -- 20 psi; Right Front -- 48 psi; Right Rear -- 44 psi

Estimated Pit Window: Every 60-65 laps, based on fuel mileage

Notes: NASCAR Nextel Cup and Busch Series teams will be the same tire codes at Chicagoland this weekend . . . this is the first time that Goodyear has brought this exact combination of left- and right-side tires to the track . . . however, teams have run this left-side code (D-4060) earlier this season at Dover (both series) and Michigan (Cup only) . . . as on all NASCAR ovals greater than one mile in length, teams in both series are required to run inner liners in all four tire positions at Chicagoland . . . air pressure in those inner liners should be 12-25 psi greater than that of the outer tire.
