Notes: This is the second time this specific combination of left- and right-side tires will be used in at Darlington . . . all three NASCAR series will compete on the same tires this weekend, though the Nextel Cup and Busch Series tires will be branded "Goodyear Eagle" and the Craftsman Truck Series tires will be branded "Goodyear Wrangler" . . . this is the third and final time that Nextel Cup and Busch Series teams will run this combination in 2004, having run it earlier this season at both Darlington and Rockingham . . . inner liner inflation should be 12-25 psi higher than that of the outer tire.
Goodyear Quote -- Mark Keto, Lead Engineer, Stock Car Tire Development: "As always at Darlington, the main thing teams will have to deal with as far as the tires are concerned is high wear due to the roughness of the track surface. Cup teams have already run these tires at Darlington earlier this season, as well as at another rough-surface track in Rockingham, so they should know what to expect from this tire set-up."
