GOODYEAR TIRE NOTES
NASCAR Nextel Cup Series -- Race No. 30 -- UAW-Ford 500
Talladega Superspeedway (2.66-mile oval) -- Talladega, Ala.
Fast Facts for October 5-7, 2007
Tire: Goodyear Eagle Superspeedway Radials
Number of Tires: Left-side -- 900; Right-side -- 900;
Tire Codes: Left-side -- D-4082; Right-side -- D-4084
Tire Circumference: Left-side -- 87.3 in.; Right-side -- 88.6 in.
Technical Inspection Inflation: Left Front -- 30 psi; Left Rear -- 30 psi; Right Front -- 55 psi; Right Rear -- 50 psi
Minimum Recommended Inflation: Left Front -- 27 psi; Left Rear -- 27 psi; Right Front -- 50 psi; Right Rear -- 45 psi
Notes: This is the first time that Goodyear has brought these two tire codes (left-side: D-4082; right-side: D-4084) to the track . . . the change from the spring race at Talladega (April 29) came mostly as a result of NASCAR deciding to run the "Car of Tomorrow" at the superspeedway this time around . . . also because of that, Nextel Cup teams will be running different tire codes than Craftsman Truck teams this weekend . . . this is the only race remaining on the 2007 Nextel Cup schedule at which Nextel Cup teams will run this tire setup . . . as on all NASCAR ovals greater than one mile in length, teams are required to run inner liners in all four tire positions at Talladega . . . air pressure in those inner liners should be 12-25 psi greater than that of the outer tire.

Notes: This is the second straight race at Talladega Superspeedway that teams in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will run this specific combination of left- and right-side tires . . .
