Notes: Teams in all three NASCAR series will run the same tire codes at Phoenix this weekend, though the Nextel Cup and Busch Series tires will be branded “Goodyear Eagle,” while the Craftsman Truck tires will be branded “Goodyear Wrangler” . . . this is the same specific combination of left- and right-side tires that Goodyear brought for Nextel Cup and Busch teams to run at Phoenix this past April . . . in addition to Phoenix, teams in all three of NASCAR’s major series ran this tire set-up at Richmond and New Hampshire in 2007 . . . Busch and Craftsman Truck Series teams also ran this set-up at Milwaukee, Gateway, Indianapolis Raceway Park and Memphis (Busch only) this season . . . as on most NASCAR ovals one mile or less in length, teams will not run inner liners in their tires at Phoenix.

    Does anyone know where I can get a list of the Goodyear racing tire codes for all the tracks? I’ve got a tire that ran on Dale Earnhardt’s car at the inaugural Brickyard 400 in ‘94. The code on the side of the tire is D-5120. I bought the tire from the Goodyear truck after the race, but I want to verify that code as the compound used at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I’d appreciate any advice. Thank you, Michael Sands, Converse, Texas.
