Goodyear Tire Fast Facts - Kentucky

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series -- Race No. 17 – Quaker State 400 
NASCAR Nationwide Series -- Race No. 15 – Feed the Children 300 
Kentucky Motor Speedway (1.5-mile oval) – Sparta, Ky.
Fast Facts for June 28-29, 2013

Tire: Goodyear Eagle Speedway Radials 
Set limits: Sprint Cup: 5 sets for practice/qualifying and 10 sets for the race;
Nationwide: 6 sets for the event

Number of Tires: Sprint Cup: Left-side -- 1,375; Right-side -- 1,375;
Nationwide: Left-side – 475; Right-side -- 475

Tire Codes: Left-side -- D-4556; Right-side -- D-4440

Tire Circumference: Left-side -- 87.4 in. (2,220 mm); Right-side -- 88.4 in. (2,246 mm)

Technical Inspection Inflation: Left Front -- 30 psi; Left Rear -- 30 psi;
Right Front -- 48 psi; Right Rear -- 45 psi

Minimum Recommended Inflation: Left Front -- 22 psi; Left Rear -- 20 psi;
Right Front -- 46 psi; Right Rear -- 42 psi

Notes: While teams in all three NASCAR series in action at Kentucky this week will run the same right side tire code (D-4440), teams in both the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series will run a slightly different left side code (D-4556) than those in the Camping World Truck Series. This is the same right side tire that Sprint Cup and Nationwide teams ran at Kentucky the last two seasons. This left side tire is new to Kentucky and features a construction change compared to what was run at this track last year. Teams in these two series ran this same tire set-up at Dover earlier this month. As on all NASCAR ovals greater than one mile in length, teams are required to run inner liners in all four tire positions at Kentucky. Air pressure in those inner liners should be 12-25 psi greater than that of the outer tire.
