NASCAR will introduce multiple tire compounds for the 2024 All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway, including Prime and Option tires. The Option tire, made with a softer tread compound, aims to enhance grip and wear, adding a strategic element to tire management during the race.
Imagine if next month’s #NASCAR All-Star Race is successful with two different tire compounds how maybe it could someday lead to something like this … https://t.co/4VdCDQMFaj
👍 "It's doable." @GoodyearRacing's Greg Stucker says they could implement the "option tire" compound at other tracks this year if deemed a success at @NWBSpeedway. More --> https://t.co/WGRTG5gVtL https://t.co/pimoLqUgF0
🛞 "That tire is not going to go for a long period of time." #NASCAR's Elton Sawyer explained why they decided to make it mandatory to start on the "optional tire" for the All-Star Race. More --> https://t.co/WGRTG5gVtL https://t.co/Hl9Dkduy2R
Goodyear's Greg Stucker said the All Star Race option tire concept was inspired by Bristol but also replicating the wet tire in dry conditions. If it works, that could be the future of NextGen short track racing. https://t.co/6Iw6TJRXvi
👨🔬 "Part of what we evaluated was the wet weather tread compound on a dry tire." @GoodyearRacing's Greg Stucker explains how they landed on multiple tire compounds for the All-Star Race. More --> https://t.co/WGRTG5gVtL https://t.co/zAOLVlaLPC

I personally am excited to see the multiple tire compounds idea back for the All-Star Race this year. It’ll be a fun thing to see how it plays out. If successful, who knows, this could be part of what saves Next Gen short track racing. https://t.co/fubkFXI8bj

Goodyear's "Option" tire for the Cup All-Star race has the same construction as the Prime tire, but will feature the more tractive tread compound that Goodyear uses on its wet weather tire for Cup competition, just with a “slick” tread and no tread pattern.

Goodyear will bring two dry-weather tire compounds for the All-Star Race. The "prime" tire is the standard compound, while the "option" compound will "feature the more tractive tread compound that Goodyear uses on its wet weather tire for Cup competition."
Goodyear will bring different tire compounds for the All-Star Race next month: A “Prime” and “Option” tire. Same construction, different treads. Teams will be required to start on the Option tire and try to manage their stuff. https://t.co/oyzCUxHKrp
This is an interesting twist for #NASCAR teams at the @NWBSpeedway #AllStar race. https://t.co/Y7nBjC8hOA
As we discussed a few weeks ago on #TMDNASCAR the All-Star Race will be used as a testing ground to address the short track package with Goodyear bringing two kinds of tire options, the current one and one based on the softer compound of the wet weather tire @SiriusXMNASCAR
Goodyear will bring both Prime and Option tires to the NASCAR Cup All-Star race at North Wilkesboro. Both tires came out of a test at the track in March. The Option has a "softer" tread compound - will add grip & wear more, making tire management a bigger factor for the drivers.
The format for the 2024 #AllStarRace at @NWBSpeedway is here! New this year, NASCAR will make multiple tire compounds (prime and option) available to teams for use throughout the weekend.

NASCAR President Steve Phelps on using the all-star race to experiment with different ideas (this year -- using a slick tire made with tire rubber typically used for rain tires). https://t.co/MvGxo8X4Em
There will be three tire options for the NASCAR All-Star Race: wet weather (if needed), slicks, and slicks made with a wet weather tread
All-Star race tire experiment: 2 sets "prime" slick tire from tire test. And 2 sets "option" tire that are slicks but made w/tread (not grooved) from rain tire. Teams must start on "option" for 200-lap race. Caution L100: must make 4-tire stop. Caution L150: pit stop optional.
