Go to Goodyear & NASCAR for your refunds Control of the track is turned-over to NASCAR to run the race IMS doesn't have any control how NASCAR runs the race. NASCAR has a contract with Goodyear.........so , go ahead & hit them up for your refunds. Remember F-1 race (with 6 cars) Michelin gave fans the refund, because their tires where the problem.....

smart man the smartest thing tony hulman ever did was buy the speedway. the second smartest thing he ever did was run bill france out of the place 40 some years ago. a 15 lap parade between precautionary cautions is not racing!maybe its time nascar looked at other tire manufacturers! that was disgusting to say the least!

worse race ever! refubd! yea i agree. i went to the race and live right next to this track. i would have liked to watch cars race on dirt for $10 than watch this thing they called racing today for $90. Goodyear needs to leave nascar just like michilin left F1. I know that Firestone can handle the Indy cars and Indy cars sometimes go wide open around this track and lot faster than nascar. Also how often do you hear Indy drivers complaing about tires or having compition yellows. i think goodyear owes everyone there money bak or free tickets to next years race. and goodyear can not handle nascar and i know that Firestone or Hoosier could.

DO NOT BLAME THE SPEEDWAY.

re: Race Track condition Quote: Originally Posted by Ro I want to know why are there crooves cut into the asphalt? When were they done and are they all around the track or just certain turns/straights? I believe they are there to assist rain water to collect and run off the track. Race tracks commonly have problems with what are called "weepers" These are places in the track where water tends to ozze out during periods of rain. With the banking at Indy being a maximum of only 9 degrees, the track doesn't dry to quickly after rain. The track was resurfaced about two years ago, so they were cut in after that.

There is NO EXCUSE for NASCAR not coming to the SPeedway to test tires after the Chicagoland race 2 weeks ago. This problem could have been avoided. When professionals make mistakes, they must fix those mistakes. When I pay $80 a ticket to see professional racing, I expect to see it. Yesterday was not a race, but a complete joke caused by people who didn't do their homework and NASCAR's stupid rules in regards to testing.

re: Refund A class action suit is a great idea! But, not much chance of success. I am voting with my feet. I have been to 14 Brickyard 400's but this was my last! $400 to sit through the joke NASCAR called a race. The jokers running NASCAR have aren't holding out much hope for next year being any better. Why suffer through another non-race

The reply from Goodyear personnel Here is what a goodyear personnel wrote back to me: Sent by: Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Consumer Relations 728 1144 East Market Street Akron, OH 44316 Voice #: 800.321.2136 Fax #: 330.796.6829 Thank you for contacting our web site and for your interest in NASCAR. We knew that this race was going to be a challenge for us. We tested at the track and brought the tire that, based upon what we knew, had the best combination of grip and wear. However, Indianapolis is a very abrasive track and this was the first time the "Car of Tomorrow" had raced there. No matter how hard we try, Sunday racing conditions can't be duplicated in a test. Every other time that we have raced at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the track has retained rubber on its surface, leading to better tire wear as the race has progressed. This time, that didn't happen which was a variable that nobody expected. We always have a contingency plan and in this case had tires planned for next weeks race in Ponoco mounted and ready if needed. They were not used. What a cover-up operation.. Bunch of jerks!

I've been to six Brickyard 400s and this was by no means a race. Like you said, they had 2 WEEKS to test the tires at Indy. There's a bunch of finger pointing going on by the track and the tire company. Did they think race fans wouldn't be upset by the predictable cautions??? As far as I'm concerned that "race" shouldn't even count as an official race. Since when did a practice start costing $85 a seat! What a joke.

I'm sure they aren't too happy with the tire situation on Sunday either.

We deserve a refund If you were scheduled to go to a concert and the performaer had laryngitis and could not sing, then they would cancel the concert. NASCAR could not hold a tune this past weekend and should have canceled / rescheduled the event. I still don't understand NASCAR'S Robin Pemberton, who today issued an apology, yet has stated that this race was as competitive of other races that they had here??? Now I'm wondering if the races in NASCAR are FIXED???
