Chase Elliott Warns NASCAR Against ‘Gimmicky’ Tire Package After Bristol ‘Science Experiment’ In the middle of a raging debate about Bristol's tire wear, Chase Elliott calls out NASCAR for constantly

The racing product in Bristol has been a confusing mess since 2022. Firstly, there were the massive aerodynamic changes wrought by the Next-Gen car. However, the puzzling phenomenon in the spring 2024 race, where tires shredded in 30-40 laps, set off a new challenge. NASCAR and Goodyear put their heads together to seek the perfect tire package. And the culmination after 18 months of effort did not particularly thrill NASCAR drivers, including Chase Elliott.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver, along with other veterans, faced harrowing crashes at last Saturday’s Bristol night race. That was partly due to Goodyear’s science experiment succeeding, probably a little too much. So, Chase Elliott calls for greater caution while experimenting with tire types.
