NASCAR has decided to provide each team with one additional set of tires due to extreme tire wear at Bristol, bringing the total to 11 sets for the race, including the 7 sets of new tires teams already have. This decision, pertinent to the FoodCity500 event, came after Goodyear confirmed they had enough tires on site to allocate one more set per team. The distribution of the additional tires is contingent upon NASCAR's approval and Goodyear's ability to mount them, emphasizing the importance of managing tire usage carefully.

Teams will get to acquire one extra set (so 11 sets total for the race) once Goodyear has mounted a set for each team. And then that's it, no additional sets.
