NASCAR senior vice president of competition, Elton Sawyer, was 'baffled' after witnessing an unusual lack of tire wear at Bristol.
NASCAR's Senior Vice President of Competition, Elton Sawyer, has revealed his bewilderment over the minimal tire wear observed at Bristol. He has confirmed that he will address the issue with Goodyear for further investigation.The unexpected lack of tire wear during the Round of 16 finale at Bristol was particularly striking, especially given the excessive tire degradation seen in the spring race held in March.
'Kyle Larson dominated last Saturday's race at Bristol Motor Speedway, leading 462 of the 500 laps and securing victory by a margin of seven seconds. The race featured eight lead changes. However, with minimal tire wear, drivers ran similar lap times, making it difficult to perform overtakes, a stark contrast to the March race, where numerous position changes occurred throughout the event.
