Q: I do not remember who but about 5 years ago a number of drivers refused to race for almost same reason as NASCAR drivers did attempt to yesterday Instead oof a lousy show I say they should have sat this one out
A: It wasn't the tires fault alone. It was the COMBINATION of the new COT car's down force that they have and the diamond cut surface of the track that caused the tire wear. It was unexpected being the 1st time the COT ran here besides back in April when they tested and the tires was wearing out in as little as 5 laps.. It is called trial and error. Now they will make the improvements to correct this almost total disaster. More testing is needed!
