Stewart likes to characterize himself as being "brutally honest" . On this,I must agree. Goodyear tires have caused many headaches for NASCAR drivers. Also, Vegas seems to be like Charlotte was a couple of years ago,a real nightmare for drivers with configurations and pavement,etc. The races at Lowe's became almost nonstop wreckfests and we saw that at Vegas in this race. Hoosier would probably be the best brand for NASCAR but like somebody at another message board said,Hoosier doesn't have the money to line NASCAR's pockets like Goodyear does.
