GOODYEAR NOTES AND QUOTES: Tony Freund, lead engineer, stock car racing:
" This is the same tire recommendation as the June Winston Cup event at Pocono
Raceway and we were extremely happy with the tire performance at that race.
Teams were able to take advantage of the tire consistency and excellent wear
characteristics by only changing two tires on pit stops and dramatically
improving their track position."

"We will also use this same tire recommendation for the 2000 Brickyard 400 at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway and during the Homestead race weekend (Winston Cup
and Busch Series) later in the season.  All three tracks have some common
characteristics so it makes sense that the tires would be the same or very
similar."
