Did you know...? This is the same tire set-up that has been previously used at
South Boston, Myrtle Beach and Nazareth.  But it is the final time this popular
combination will be used in 2000.

GOODYEAR NOTES AND QUOTES: Larry Kraus, engineer:

"The improved handling characteristics of the new generation tire, combined with
the excellent tread wear and consistency shown in the past with these tread
compounds, should make for an exciting race.  Many teams will go with two tire
pit stops to gain track position, since the left side tires can last for the
entire race."
