its not tire pressure. All pemberton was doing is saying the same crap good year was saying after final practice. Tires weren't blowing after low pressures. they were blowing well after tires pressure were up. A lot of teams were paranoid about the tire & was playing it safe. Anyone listening to the driver radios knows this. Ryan Newman had no bad wear on his tires all race long & he got a flat at the end of the race like a ton of others.
The tire definitely was the problem. Now you can blame Good year if you like, or take the points given by wildturkey & blame Nascar. But it was not the teams fault that a ton of teams had blown tires in this race like Dumbass Pemberton would like to lead most to believe. Whether you blame Nascar or Good year or both, the tire was the problem. Not team set ups or air pressure.

Read some comments from Dave Rogers today about it and if what he said is true, then some of those teams do share in the blame. He said that some teams were running as low as 12 psi. That's pretty darn low and if you're running excessive camber, that's just dangerous. It's a wonder they lasted as long as they did if what he said was true.

I liked JJ's quote. its always our teams fault. They tell us that everytime LOL.
Guess a lot of teams were at fault today!
Funny how before Nascar even has any facts they tell the teams they were at fault. LOL

If the teams were allowed to run any tire like say Michelins, Bridgestones, or Pirellis, I guarantee you wouldn't see the krap we watched in the closing laps of that race in Fontana. Goodyear's suck.

think it is funny. I saw today they said it was the teams fault. They could have ran their cars slow to keep from blowing tires......... Translations. The tire wasn't good enough to run fast.
