Is this going to be a wreckfest?

Question

This tire issue sounds serious. Do you think it will be a wreckfest or do you think the rubber will lay down and it will be fine?

Answer 1

Not necessarily a wreckfest, but a yellowfest for sure.

Answer 2

I HOPE IT AINT BORING

Answer 3

Maybe single car incidents with tire problems, and they might collect a few others around them, but Indy isn't a place that will breed "big ones".

Answer 4

Mark Martin says they went 5 laps  on  each a 4 sets of tires and they were showing cords all ready so yes they will have plenty wrecks.

Answer 5

probably so. the tires are wearing down alot just after 5 laps so probably the first half of the race we can expect alot of blown tires and alot of damage race cars until rubber is laid down on the track

Answer 6

Bunch of single cars going into the wall because of blown right fronts is what the Dudes crystal ball is showing.

Answer 7

no.

they are gonna do like 10 laps throw a yellow, if the tires are worn to h**l, like in practise, they'll throw the red take away all the tires and bring in all the pocono tires and go green again, and throw another yellow in 10 laps.

tires again worn to h**l, well it'll be a very interesting race to watch cause they can;t do anything else but deal without unless they work over time to make better tires fly them in and race monday.

Answer 8

I hope its a wreckfest.  Go Casey!  W00t w00t

Answer 9

It looks like it.  They were even talking about using the pocono tires earlier.  That will create more speed and more blown engines.  They said that after 6 laps the cords start showing.  I don't know if the fastest car will win, or the last driver with tires.

Answer 10

Yeah,lets have a wreckfest!!!!!!!!!

Answer 11

Hopefully no. What's odd is for the many years now they've raced at Indy, Goodyear doesn't have  a clue ? Duuuuuh.

Answer 12

I think rubber will fill the grooves as the race goes on. Early on it may be an issue.NASCAR is going to have competition yellow at lap 10 for teams to take a look.

Answer 13

I sure hope not. That's all they have been talking about this morning. At least Nascar and Goodyear are going to give them the extra sets of tires like the teams have asked for be it they are the tires meant for Pocono. Lets hope that its a safe and great race. Its going to be interesting that's for sure. I dont understand how Goodyear missed this tire compound, they tested there didnt they back in April?

I will second that motion VP! BF Goodrich.
