Tire Troubles at the Track: Logano's Urging a Change
Joey Logano is firing on all cylinders, and this time it's not just on the race track. After the rubber hit the road – a bit too well – at Martinsville Speedway, Logano took to the airwaves, demanding a tire transformation. "We've got to do something big now," he declared on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. Elton Sawyer, VP of NASCAR's competition, echoed the urgency, though with a promise to pump up the efforts with Goodyear.
Here's the low down: The short track shenanigans have shown that when tires degrade, like they accidentally did at Bristol, the race heats up. But at Richmond and Martinsville? A total snooze fest with tires too tough to take the heat. Logano wants that sweet spot – a tire that wears down just right, creating a driver's dream of dynamic duels and lead changes galore.
Cracking the Code on Tire Wear
Now, here's what's revving Joey up. Those left-side tires stayed put way too long, we're talking almost 200 laps without a swap – unheard of! The wear pins were shy to show, and even when the rubber began to chunk, it wasn't the good kind of wear. The paddock buzzed with whispers of a quick fix before the All-Star Race in May, because let's face it, racing with no pit stops for fresh tires is like a burger without the bun – utterly incomplete.
Logano is pushing for some out-of-the-box ideas, like grooving up the tires or giving Dale Earnhardt Jr. a shot at picking the perfect set. Denny Hamlin's in the mix too, suggesting some Junior magic might just be the key. So, gearheads and race fans, keep your eyes peeled, something big might be rolling out soon!
"We've just got to do something big now," stressed the two-time Cup champ. It's a race against the clock to gear up for gripping track action. Will Goodyear and NASCAR deliver the tire tweaks that drivers and fans are craving? Turn the dial and stay tuned.
Joey Logano Calls for Urgent NASCAR Tire Changes
After a lackluster performance at Martinsville Speedway, Joey Logano, a two-time Cup champion, urged NASCAR on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio to make significant tire changes for better short track racing experiences. 'Do something and do it now,' Logano implored, voicing discontent with the tires' longevity which hinders competitive passing.
At the recent Martinsville race, tires didn't wear as expected, with Logano not changing his left side tires until Lap 185, an anomaly in racing that diminishes strategic pit stops and on-track competition. Logano's suggestions include grooving the tires or even testing new ones, stressing the need for different tires by the upcoming All-Star Race.
Denny Hamlin also weighed in on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, proposing NASCAR test with Dale Earnhardt Jr. for better visibility and results. NASCAR, together with Goodyear, is seeking solutions to this pronounced tire wear issue, having already scheduled a tire test at Bristol in July.
