The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Martinsville for the first race at the track since last year’s controversy. The first short track race of the season saw one driver dominate, but that was not the only storyline, as the tires used have been an important topic to improve short track racing. Has Goodyear reached its goal? Find out what Eric Estepp thinks by watching this episode of the Groovy Gauge presented by Lectric eBikes.
Groovy Gauge Score: 50%
- Eric would love more horsepower but acknowledges that it is unlikely to happen any time soon, and thus, tires are the way to improve short-track racing.
- Tires matter, but they need to keep going softer.
- Very average NASCAR race, but despite that, the best drivers finished at the top, which, in Eric’s view, should be appreciated.
