That race was fantastic. Don't change a damn thing about the tire. Driver skill actually mattered for the first time in a long time and it showed with Hamlin, Truex, and Keselowski taking the podium. By the end of the race, drivers were getting 60-70 laps on those tires and especially now that teams can prepare for it you'll see the stronger, better preserved tires next time.
I have to wonder - with the calls for increased horsepower, maybe there's another way to get what the fans want. I think the stiff, aero-dependent car bodies are actually the biggest problem. Part of what made NASCAR of the 80s and 90s so great was that the cars were basically giant boxes being wheeled at crazy high speeds. Take the nerds away from the aero sims and let the cars be ill-handling. With some compromise from the involved parties (Chevy/Ford/Toyota, NASCAR, engine makers, Goodyear) maybe we can weaken the aero and tires just a bit and bump up the HP slightly, to say, 750, and then we'd see better racing?
