Harvick calls Goodyear tires crap
Goodyear would be wise to put bold letters on each tire: Caution: May Explode Without Warning |
Kevin Harvick didn’t hold back about how he felt about NASCAR’s tire supplier following a right front puncture and crash on lap 147 of the South Point Casino 400 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
NASCAR's Goodyear tires have been exploding for years.
"Well, there was something wrong from the time we put the tires on," Harvick said on NBCSN television. "It was like Russian roulette every time you put these piece of crap tires on and try to drive around the race track. One time it is tight, one time it is loose, one time they are blistered. We had a great car and then you put a set of tires on it and you can’t hardly make it through the field. I just hate it for everyone on our Mobil 1 Ford."
After one of his right side Goodyears popped, Harvick slammed the turn one wall and was drilled himself when Erik Jones had nowhere to go. Jones was fit to be tied, throwing his towel against a safety vehicle.
"I am not happy about anything right now."
