This weekend at North Wilkesboro Speedway, drivers are testing a new softer option tire compound provided by Goodyear Racing. Denny Hamlin praised the tire, stating that Goodyear 'nailed it' and compared the experience to his old short track days. The new tire compound has received widespread approval from drivers, with many noting the increased grip and improved performance. Tyler Reddick also commented on the tire wear and grip of the softer tire. The softer tire compound may be key to improving the short-track package.

Drivers have offered lots of praise for the softer "option" tire compound that is being used this weekend. My latest for @TheAthletic delves into why a softer tire compound may be the key to improving the short-track package. https://t.co/vKXGOcP0EN
Denny Hamlin sounded thrilled with the softer tire (seriously).
.@DennyHamlin says he gives Goodyear, "a lot of shit sometimes, but they nailed it," with this tire. Hamlin says it's really, really fun right now like his old short track days. #NASCAR
