Goodyear tire test at Michigan

Yesterday at 10:10 AM

Goodyear officials have scheduled tire testing this week at Michigan International Speedway, ahead of the NASCAR race weekend there June 6-8.

Three NASCAR Cup Series teams are set for a one-day session Tuesday at the 2-mile track, working to try out softer compounds specific to the Michigan layout and different tire constructions for intermediate-sized — and intermediate-plus, like Michigan — circuits. The introduction of softer race-ready rubber is part of a recent industry-wide push toward more advanced wear and tire-management strategies.

As typical for Goodyear tests, one team from each of the three Cup Series manufacturers will be represented. Scheduled to participate are:

No. 17 RFK Racing Ford and driver Chris Buescher
No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota and driver Ty Gibbs
No. 99 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet and driver Daniel Suárez
