NASCAR is to blame for not scheduling any testing with the (awful) COT prior to the race. The cars has never turned a lap at the track until first practice on Friday.

[@DDS029]

Why is everyone so down on the COT? It was a race car, period. It's not like it only had three wheels. You get the rules, you build the car, then find out who made the adjustments in it that suits their driver, and wins the race. Of all the divisions I raced in there was always something that was different about the cars. And usually so did everyone else. The COT was a major advancement in safety. The things learned from it are almost still used today. It just in different wrapping paper.

That's the thing, even if there were multiple manufacturers it wouldn't solve anything, look at the 2005 US GP (funny enough also at indy) multiple manufacturers push them to out perform each other, which ultimately causes more and more unsafe conditions for the drivers as they put out softer and softer tires

[@ethanroebuck7203]

Im so glad my family waited until the next year to go to this race... I heard that the reason for all these blow outs was the year before Indy had the track re-paved and GOODYEAR refused to do a tire test and this was the result, and if you remember, Formula 1 had the same issues and that was the reason, Bridgestone again refused to run a tire test and only 6 cars started that race. That is what i like about nascar is they at least still ran, formula 1 was a HUGE disappointment that year, i mean who wants to see any race with 6 cars on track? Nascar teams at least ran the race

[@ethanroebuck7203]

Ah yes, my mistake. It was Michelin that refused to tire test.

Another problem with the Brickyard 400 is that it usually takes place in late July, which is the hottest time of the year almost everywhere in the northern hemisphere for all areas below the Tropic of Cancer- Indianapolis included. For this year it's going to be held in early September after Darlington, when the weather is cooler, which is a good thing. But the NASCAR race at Indy should be a Saturday night race. Why not? The TV spectacle would make it stand out from the Indy 500 and it would give the event a different feel.

[@DDS029]

They are Generals now. Continental bought General who bought Hoosier. The ARCA tires are still the continuing evolution of the Hoosier tires, but General is the name they want to get the publicity. Hoosier is the trusted name in short track racing, so they left the Hoosier name on them. NASCAR likes having a different tire maker that has experience on speedways, in case Goodyear ever was to pull out. And now, also a name brand.

[@josephh.189]

[@Dalejr88rox]

I'd say this race was a bigger disgrace than the 2005 US Grand Prix. In that race, Toyota were really only the cars suffering from the Michelins (Williams reported their cars weren't experiencing extreme wear like the Toyotas). Goodyear's tires affected everybody in the race

[@TAVIII]

incorrect they all had the same issues.

[@Dalejr88rox]

Wrong. Look it up. Toyota was the only team to have a blowout. The RedBull and Williams teams even reported that their tires were fine, but Michelin advised them to not race

[@TAVIII]

***** Of course they would say that they wanted points

[@Dalejr88rox]

OK That doesn't make any sense. If they wanted points, why didn't the race then? The FIA didn't force them to not race, it was their own discretion.

[@jmjrulz9482]

This is why NASCAR needs more than one tire supplier. Either that, or someone else needs to take over from Goodyear.

[@mikemaynard7224]

No to more tire suppliers. Remember Hoosier in 94? 2 drivers died because of this.

[@DDS029]

We were running Hoosiers on our ARCA car without a problem, same cars (0 to 5 years older), same weight, same tracks, same tires. The difference was we didn't pretend to know better than the Hoosier techs. We did what they said to do. Not all the wacky steering geometries, camber settings, tire pressures, the NASCAR team's tire "specialist" did. Bodine had the field covered at Dover. He could run a full fuel run, and then some, without blowing up after 20-25 laps like the Goodyears. The lesser talent drivers would burn up their tires and wreck, while the more experienced Goodyear teams could run a few laps longer. So when the "less talented" brought out the yellow it was just in time for the better teams. Bodine didn't need tires, except that new Goodyears were faster than 25 lap Hoosiers. So to make sure he could stay out in front of the wrecks, he had to change tires also. And there went his advantage of not having to make as many pit stops. A tire war is not good for ANYBODY. One side or the other at any given race is going to step over the line. And which two drivers died in '94 because of tires? If you are talking about Bonnet, you are mistaken. Our ARCA car crashed in the same spot the day before, and broke the wall. You can see in pictures of Bonnet's accident, that the D and A are missing off the wall. Ours was a first timer at Daytona. A gust of wind caught him off guard. Unfortunately, he did what you do to "save" the car on a short track which was the wrong thing to do here. Our car slid sideways onto the apron, shot up the track, hit the roof of the car on the top of the wall, and came spinning down the track. When I took the car to the Museum at Talladega the next day, the tires were flat spotted, but were still holding air the last time I saw it thirteen years ago. So on Neil's car, he either over corrected and knocked the air out of the RF when he hit, ran over something, or they didn't set the front end geometry like it was suggested for all the teams that used to run the Goodyears, and abused the RF. We ran Hoosiers before that, and we ran Hoosiers after that, and never had a problem unless we messed up the setup.
