That is the worst tire (Goodyear) Iâve ever been on in my life in any professional form of racing. It doesnât take long if you do your homework and look at when they exited Formula One, the IRL, CART, the Outlaws, you name it -- they have exited out because they canât compete and they canât keep up. They donât have the technology and the people that are smart enough to build a tire. This was pathetic today. To race like we raced today. Iâm really proud of our team, proud of Home Depot and really proud of the guys on our pit crew with great pit stops today. It is just a shame that the teams work so hard and spend so much money to compete and then it is all dictated by a tire company that is building tires that arenât worthy of a street car. The first thing Iâm doing when I get home is dismounting anything that has got Goodyearâs on it and putting Firestone or something else on it so I feel a lot safer.
