Indyfan, I’m not really sure that NASCAR would necessarily lose any fans over one piss poor race, but the problem is that races at places like Daytona and Indy tend to get a bit more coverage and attention from folks that aren’t already fans. These kinds of races certainly won’t entice them to tune in again next week.

TMAX, I really couldn’t agree more. What’s the saying? Fool me once, shame on me … the point is that this isn’t the first lackluster performance thanks to Goodyear this year, and last Sunday was just inexcusible.

Fores, as always, I appreciate the compliments!

I feel bad for the fans. It is going to be bad enough on them after Tony George takes away all the parking area around the track and they end up walking 2 miles to get to watch a race like the one ran this year. I hope Nascar won’t lose fans over this.

Apologies? Should be a termination or two. To have a race this important dictated by someone’s (goodyear and/or NASCAR) inability to bring the proper tire is just wrong. I wonder if a Hoosier rep has been called?

This is a great post, very informative lots of insight into the situation. I think Nascar and Goodyear have learned a great deal from the situation.
