Notes: This is the same combination of left- and right-side tires Goodyear brought to California last season . . . both the NASCAR Winston Cup and Busch Series will compete on the same tires this weekend . . . in addition to California, this specific combination will also be run by Winston Cup, Busch and Truck Series teams at Michigan later this season . . . this right-side code (D-6352) will also be run in 2003 with a different left-side at Texas (D-6364), Charlotte (D-6372), Chicago (D-6356) and Kansas (D-6372). . . as on all NASCAR ovals greater than one mile in length, teams are required to run inner liners in all four tire positions at California . . . the air pressure in the inner liners must be 12-25 psi greater than that of the outer tire.
Goodyear Quote: Mark Keto , Lead Engineer, Stock Car Tire Development:
"At Fontana, tires will really only be a factor in relation to pit strategy. Tire wear is not a major concern for teams at this track, so teams have always had the ability to choose between four-tire, two-tire and even no-tire stops at different points of the races at Fontana. As it has many times in the past, pit strategy and fuel mileage should be two major keys to success this weekend."
