I think it's been longer than that. The only tracks we really see it at are Darlington, Richmond and Homestead. I can't remember the last time tires truly mattered outside of the three tracks I mentioned.
@@nomadman5288 yeah your right about that. It just seems even less so since we've had this newer car with its profile and width. But I'm glad we got to see it again.
This race was so exciting. I loved the almost predictable nature of chaos You could see every 30-40 laps or so someone was burning up their tires. I loved the idea that a driver had a choice to make: run hard and lead or run smart and survive. Great race! I hope NASCAR sees it like that too.
I just watched the 2006 Bristol spring race. Where it snowed the ambient temperature was 44 and track temp was 47. Lap 58 tires started to fall and tear apart who was aggressive on them. The track layed in rubber. My theory is is the tire mixture and track temperature and how the tire is made up now played a role
I was at a place of business today, and they had you and your Dad picture on the walls. One of Mark Martin. Some of the Coke Cola drivers. All they had was old school nascar. Was great to see it all. Stay safe, and God bless. Dan 🇺🇸
Common sentiment. Explain exactly how the core racing was any better? The actual performances between competitors without the drama, cautions, etc? The lead changes? Hell no. Those are artificially yielded.
Loved the race. Dont change a thing, period. Most of the time these races dont have a 70-90 lap run without a caution. Make the drivers and teams think. No more lap after lap of qualifying laps.
Pure bs. Tires sucked. You would already wear out tires on 70-80 laps pushing hard. They killed them at 40-50 taking it easy. Not pushing it. Tires sucked, and there no no changing that.
I wonder what Tony Stewart would say about this? I didn't watch but it sounds like all the tires were consistently wearing quick. I can't wait for the TH-cam replay
I hope this isn't Nascar's Formula One moment, where one race leads them to think it's a good idea to make tires that fall apart, to "spice" up the races. It didn't work for F1, and it won't work for Nascar. This one race may have been interesting, but it was only because the teams didn't expect it.
We really never hear 'scuffs' vs 'stickers' any more, do we? Used to be common to hear from pit reports that a car put on a set of scuffs. And the marbles- never hear (or see!) that anymore. I like it. Felt like a classic/ heyday race to me.
Maybe don’t need that much tire falloff but drivers should have to manage their tires and drive smart. Pick your spot and know when to go and if you do it wrong you fall back.
I think this might've been the best bristol race i've seen live. Unpredictable tyres and conditions, teams and drivers having to work real hard to figure it out, chaotic at the start and then settling down slowly to fantastic racing and a whole green flag pit cycle. Loved every bit of it - I think lack of practice helps with that, don't give the teams enough time to optimise their car
Love the Tiny Moving Parts hoodie Jr.! I saw them in Indy way back when they started and am amazed at how big they've gotten. And now I'm amazed that you're a fan! Great when my interests intersect.
I glad they took the risk. People shouldn’t bash them. They can easily make hard tires that last the whole damn race but that wouldn’t be exciting. They put their name on the line for our entertainment. I hope they get it right. At least they are trying.
Great show. I don't know when I have laughed so hard, but I was seriously tickled when it came up about peeing in the seat. There's a better solution, wear Depends or whatever brand works for you and you won't need the Gatorade. That was PRICELESS!!! 😂😂😂LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! ❤️ 💞🤗💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🏁🏆🏁
Talking about concrete tracks/roads I live on NC HWY 32, it was built in 1938 b4 WW2 on a clay road bed, those blocks have 5/8 rebar holding them together down the middle of the road and on right and left. They would put sawdust and hot tar in the one inch crack back in the late '60's but big trucks with heavy loads would cause the blocks to rock and wash out so they started using a rubberized tar that they would melt and pump in there making it water tight sometime in the '90's cement shrinks in winter and swells in summer. Also when you talked about Dover it made me think of the prison bus ride to Sandy Ridge, the belt line around Raleigh was like riding ramps, up the ramp bam, like a 2 inch drop bam, ramp. Bam, ramp...bam it was like ramps connected together, a bus is a 2 ton truck, it was like riding a jack hammer you sit on. I don't know why they built it like that, maybe the big trucks made the blocks settle after rains? I want to say it was the inner belt line, line back to back ramps all the way around Raleigh to High Point. It's the highest Point in the piedmont. One place I never want to go again.
That race reminds me of offensive & defense of linemen. Every game is won in the trenches. How you can manage the game begins up front. The offense wants to stay on the field to run the clock and keep their defense on the side line. Also matters how the coaches manage the ball and understand the situation of the game being played this week. I enjoyed everything about making professional be able to show why they are the best
One word of caution for NASCAR & Goodyear… In my sport of F1, back in 2010 at the Canadian Grand Prix, we had something similar, the tyres dropped off and had abnormal tyre wear. It was a great race and it became the blueprint for what we have now. The tyres now are not up to the mark. Whilst bad tyres can help a race but it can also ruin a race. Keep up the good work guys!
This Car Denny pissed in is not going back to the shop. It is going to NASCAR R&D. He left a present for them. the Tech guys at NASCAR are like, "what is this yellow oil on and under the seat?" Denny will have to tell them too.
I love the racing that results with the fading tire. However, I do not like the flats and the potential wrecking and possible injuries that might result. It would be great if they could have a hard cord protection layer, that once the they wore down to it, the tire went off so much, that they had to bring it in for new tires but greatly reduced the chance of a blowout. I remember seeing Red Farmer run away with a race at Huntsville once, only to fade be passed for victory. The tire guy came by later and said he told Red those tires would not last the race at Huntsville. But it exciting to see him come and go. Of course he did not get passed that often back then.
Was at your shop today on my way from Bristol, it would have made my trip to be able to have seen this podcast. Shop was closed but I did get a Dirty mo media hoody.
I was the "interior specialist" for Todd Bodine when I was with Herzog Motorsports (Herzog-Jackson) during that time 2002. Pulling his seat covers and inserts after a race with the cologne he wore, after being sweaty for 300 miles of a Busch race, man that was a stench. And if we "went" in the car, yeah he never told me. Those covers alway went in a trash bag and out to get washed. I remember when I was at JGR and Tony Stewart won the Glen in 2004 and soiled himself during the race. Interior guy, man can't remember who was doing it then, but I remember him pulling that seat cover and insert out and straight in a trash bag it went and out of the building. 😅
Hello Dale, I love watching your show. I also love racing. I am old school Toomey racing does not include changing tires. I just don’t get it. Maybe you can change my mind but I doubt it.
I rarely disagree with Dale, but I think racing has been significantly improved by lack of practice. When there is too much practice, someone dials it in to create a runaway and boring race too often. With just the sim and a short at-track shakedown, we see a closer field for more of the race laps.
they do have a new concrete call roller compacted concrete, it's something they might can try if they ever redo any these concrete tracks its concrete they just dump out and smooth out with a roller, no seems
18:11 Hamlin does what in race car seriously does Joe Gibbs knows about that particular interior accident . 33:04-49:51 Great topic Dale Jr about the difference on how tire wears between alpshalt & concrete
I'm glad Dale brought up the concrete surface. I agree, would you want to try and pass someone when your wondering if your tires are ready to blow cause the concrete is ripping them up. I watched the 88 Bristol race, it was great. Dale, you and your crew would make good p.r. people for goodyear. lol
Keep the tire compound for the next Bristol race and give um the 900hp back. That will force the teams to back off on setups...softer. The cars will be capable of being driven hard without as much tire wear but at the same time will have less grip plus the extra HP. Watching guys nurse they're cars around because they're stretching the tire cycle wasn't entertaining racing.
I race off road we use a catheter that is literally just a condom with a tube that runs down your leg. They are inexpensive and they save your race suit and your interior guys lol food for thought.
Usually takes me several days to stream each race because I lose my concentration and get bored. This is the first one I was pretty much glued to and finished it in one go. At first I thought it would be a disaster of epic proportions but it was comical. Then they kinda figured it out and it was like okay cool let's see which ones make it. It kinda reminded me of the old bias plies.
I agree more horsepower and Goodyear work to bring the tire we need that will wear and with that extra horsepower more off throttle time. With that would be a lot like we had Sunday but better
I am happy to see someone talking about how GOOD of a job Goodyear did. If they just get crapped on for providing this type of tire, they are just going to provide the same crap as before. Hard as a rock and very little fall-off
Fans will all need “The Yellow” to come at some point. Can’t expect anything less of our athletes. Elsa said “Let it go”, where is the Disney sponsorship? Speaking of sponsorship, Mars should come back; we need and love the support. Great race; Keselowski was the only driver I saw go touch the track coming on to it. Great race and I’ll see our pros in the fall.
And him prefering "never to run a race like that again." Hate he felt that way. He managed it well, until his penalty. I thought he was the one, just riding until the end.
We need 3 tire compounds at the track every weekend so they can pick the right tire for the conditions. If this one variable is vital for good racing then money should be object the future growth depends on this variable.
Quick question Denny Hamlin said good year can add something to the tire to cause it to wear down /wear out. If that’s the case would the cars running on last year date code tires be wore down by whatever chemical or additive you were saying could have been added Wouldn’t that chemical or additive be on the track and then cause the tire old date code tires to deteriorate just like the new ones? Also I’d like to know if any good handling cars ran the old date code not just someone having an off day that used them laps down or in the back?
Denny's interior Guy ... PRICELESS! Nice job guys. Very entertaining
That whole bit was a joke right? Someone from Dale Jr studio doing some voice acting?
@@StarTrekGeek47it almost sounds like TJ with a slight voice mod
It was TJ
@@sheawhitmire8933 yeah I thought so
@@Kerndog04i thought it was Mike Davis
I enjoyed the Bristol race! Tire management should be a part of stock car racing. For 3 years we've been missing proper tire wear.
I think it's been longer than that. The only tracks we really see it at are Darlington, Richmond and Homestead. I can't remember the last time tires truly mattered outside of the three tracks I mentioned.

really enjoyed this pod. Denny segment was fun, and Dale always makes it fun.
Hey Old dale is Back, only missing is his red Budweiser cap and his silver sunglasses 😂 😂😂😂 lolol
Takes a special guy to compare tire wear to BEEF JERKY 🤣 Great stuff!

Stay safe, and God bless.

Easily one of the best short track races I've ever seen. Maybe 70-90 laps for tires would be better in the future, but man, what an awesome race.
Common sentiment. Explain exactly how the core racing was any better? The actual performances between competitors without the drama, cautions, etc? The lead changes? Hell no. Those are artificially yielded.

You have a new star for dirty mo. Dennys interior guy. That was funny

This is what is needed. More horse power, more tire wear.
Priceless, on Denny wetting the track down!!
Fantastic race, gave me old school Atlanta vibes. The older fans are going to appreciate this one.
Maybe don’t need that much tire falloff but drivers should have to manage their tires and drive smart. Pick your spot and know when to go and if you do it wrong you fall back.
Definitely digging the show !

The best race I’ve seen in quite some time.
Love the Tiny Moving Parts hoodie Jr.! I saw them in Indy way back when they started and am amazed at how big they've gotten. And now I'm amazed that you're a fan! Great when my interests intersect.
Was there and it was chaotic in the beginning but such a GREAT race to experience! Loved seeing so many lead changes.
They weren’t lead changes, those where guys backing up through the field to conserve.
I glad they took the risk. People shouldn’t bash them. They can easily make hard tires that last the whole damn race but that wouldn’t be exciting. They put their name on the line for our entertainment. I hope they get it right. At least they are trying.
Yes the Scuff tires was a throw back made total sense soon as heard it been a while and was like this is the good ole olden days.
Denny….. TWO WORDS : Astronaut Diapers… a walking miracle
Loved Andrew's comment, 'yellow on yellow'...!!
Thought it was great...crazy watching it.
A 12 step program for Denny....'urinators
anonymous'!!
Fantastic post!!
With all the Crying He does, I assumed He'd have a Diaper on anyway...
@@joeyd3324Depends are not SFI or FIA rated. Same as Cheatin' Joey's sh*t catchers mitt.
'I'd just blend it in.'🤣💀🤣💀
Hi Dale, having a haircut and being beardless, you look 10 years younger 😎
This greatest show, thanks for entertainment. Thank you!
We finally gained, Iowa! Another short track!
Unfortunately, it's on a Sunday night, unlike Charlotte's race on Sunday, no holiday on Monday.
Best race I seen in years. Best since tandem drafting lol
Denny need a Depends sponsorship! Also Goodyear, the tire made this a great race. We realize the tire on the track is not the tire in my car.
What Dale says at the 35/36 minute part is EXACTLY what Goodyear needs to do!
Look, watch the old Top Gear episode where they race the BMW over 24hrs. They too run into sharing a seat AND needing a wee!! LOL its epic
Great show. I don't know when I have laughed so hard, but I was seriously tickled when it came up about peeing in the seat. There's a better solution, wear Depends or whatever brand works for you and you won't need the Gatorade. That was PRICELESS!!! 😂😂😂LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! ❤️ 💞🤗💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🏁🏆🏁
As of today, Goodyear STILL says this was 'same tire combination used in last September’s race'
I picked a great season to get back in Nascar. That Bristol race was very entertaining. I'm also pulling for Hamlin to win the Championship this year.

The problem is that the excitement was in the chaos of what was happening - if teams can plan for the tire falloff, it won’t be as exciting.
Martin Truex Jr the interior guy 🤔
Now that you mention it. I bet that was Truex😂
The only bad part of the race was that Denny won. Go SHR!!
This new show lineup is really starting to come together
This Car Denny pissed in is not going back to the shop. It is going to NASCAR R&D. He left a present for them. the Tech guys at NASCAR are like, "what is this yellow oil on and under the seat?" Denny will have to tell them too.
Great race and great tires! We as the fans needs more races like that just not super speedways

Let em wear out and race! Figure it out, people!
Lol, Dale Jr enacting his best Adam Sandler impression with the pee pants tricks 😂😂 NO WHITE FIRESUITS!!
I watched every lap too and thought on Dennys long run, you need to pit, you need to pit Denny. But he knew what he was doing
Anytime the entire field struggles is great for the fans.
Wow that's a small Vulcan statue behind Denny..There's a 1oo ft Vulcan here in Birmingham,Al...kool
Was at your shop today on my way from Bristol, it would have made my trip to be able to have seen this podcast. Shop was closed but I did get a Dirty mo media hoody.
Go Denny!! Woooo! No 11 rocks. Love Denny and his podcast!
Dale holding it down the TMP hoodie, let's go
It was cold cloudy and windy. You could see the rubber blowing around on the track.
Need dale as vice president of nascar

You look awesome clean shaved Jr , you look younger and handsome 😘
The race was great, it sure was not a snooze fest.. It was a Ricky Rudd style of race.
I rarely disagree with Dale, but I think racing has been significantly improved by lack of practice. When there is too much practice, someone dials it in to create a runaway and boring race too often. With just the sim and a short at-track shakedown, we see a closer field for more of the race laps.
What do you do with 365 used rubbers?
Melt them down into a tire and call it a GOODYEAR 😅
they do have a new concrete call roller compacted concrete, it's something they might can try if they ever redo any these concrete tracks its concrete they just dump out and smooth out with a roller, no seems

Depends for Denny.
Bring in multiple compounds and watch it really get crazy
Only thing that I didn’t like was only 5 cars finishing on the lead lap, but I guess that showed the veterans off.
Wear Depends! I mean have respect for that guy. Lol😂
Keep the tire compound for the next Bristol race and give um the 900hp back. That will force the teams to back off on setups...softer.

Well after that race I’m pre sure getting more horsepower is out of the question.
I forgot the hat. . . . Dude, the store is right outside the studio. Grab another one, LOL
o this one was great guys!!

The resin and track temp was issue different to last year...

The Bristol race was like watching cheese go through a cheers grater.
We went from the intimidator to the urinator
Your reply is PRICELESS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Denny's new sponsor......DEPENDS adult diapers 😂😂😂
JR's teammate Jimmie Johnson didn't have the same problems at Dover, lol
Can we talk about Larson finishing in the top 5 after a pit stop penalty.
And him prefering "never to run a race like that again."
Hate he felt that way. He managed it well, until his penalty. I thought he was the one, just riding until the end.
The elephant in the room.
We need 3 tire compounds at the track every weekend so they can pick the right tire for the conditions. If this one variable is vital for good racing then money should be object the future growth depends on this variable.
Racing back to the way it should be. With each lap the concerns if your driver is going to have issues.
Hamlin is missing out on repping adult diapers on his car....

56:08 my wife and I have been calling Cindric Blippi
I think the resin also played a big role in the tires wearing out as much as they did.
good on goodyear, they did well to do what nascar asked at their own expense. my respect for them went up 100%
