New tire being used at Kansas, drivers who tested with it
This week NASCAR will be using a brand new tire at Kansas. Last fall Goodyear conducted a tire test to find a good combination of tires to bring. The drivers who took part in the test last fall were Jimmie Johnson, Martin Truex Jr., Aric Almirola and JJ Yeley.
Fantasy Spin: Drivers who tested with this tire will likely have a slight advantage on Saturday night. Extra track time with a brand new tire is a plus. If the test was more recent then it would be a more notable advantage.
