Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway stood out for many good reasons and one unexpected one – it provided a refreshing break from the pointless debate whether adding horsepower is a cure to all the sport’s “problems.”
The biggest issue I found with Sunday’s tire conversation-dominated event was who to thank for it because still today, nobody seems to know the exact reason how it came about. A tire combination used last fall at Bristol with no problems on the same cars suddenly decided this spring not to lay down any rubber on the same track surface – like at all. Instead, what remained was beads of rubber marbles and most tires cording after about 50 laps.
It had long been a part of NASCAR – I’ve even gotten to see some of it in my two dozen-plus years covering the sport – but something that has gradually disappeared over time. Tires lasting a fuel run or longer have become the norm rather than the exception. The most remarkable thing of all is this great improvement in racing was accomplished by not a single increase in horsepower – which has long been the rallying cry of fans and drivers who crave a return to “the good ‘ol days.
