Goodyear and NASCAR to use RFID tags to track racing tires
Quote selected text Published October 19th, 2007 in NASCAR News
When NASCAR cars and trucks hit the racetrack for the 2008 season, they’ll be outfitted with Goodyear tires imbedded with passive UHF RFID tags.
The unique ID numbers in the RFID tags will help Goodyear keep track of the thousands of tires it leases to NASCAR racing teams, and they’ll also help NASCAR track down any racers who’ve illegally tampered with their tires.
- Goodyear runs new tire codes at California
- Goodyear still puzzled at Indy tires
- Stewart on Goodyear:’…they should just pull out of this sport’
- Goodyear still has rain tires for NASCAR road race
- Stewart meets with and apologizes to Goodyear
