GOODYEAR NOTES AND QUOTES: Larry Krause, engineer:
"We expect a lot of tight side-by-side racing again this weekend.  The left side
tires can last the entire race which will allow the teams to make two tire stops
as they battle for track position.  We used this tire last week at South Boston,
and it will be used at Nazareth and IRP.  It has a modified lower sidewall for
improved cornering power and a smoother ride."
