A well-liked joke in the 1960s at full service gas stations was'filler up with Ethel and change the air in my tires.'

It is getting...NO, it is to the point where almost every week a tire unexpectedly goes down, puts someone into the wall, and then they proceed to either lose the race or involve way too many other drivers in the wreak. I am absolutely sick of tire failure causing all of these wrecks and dictating race winners. There are too many variables to deal with in racing already and bad tires should not be another. Ask Joe Nemechek what he thinks about Goodyear tires this year. He had a half track lead with less than 10 laps to go (tires should not have been an issue) and boooooom into the wall because a[..]

And yes, I drive a little red sports car myself, so when it pulled up to the signal I rev'ed my engine letting the driver know I wanted to race, he gave me the nod and smiled.
