Speaking on Petty Race Recap, he talked about the tire issues that caused trouble during Round 3 of the playoffs at Bristol Motor Speedway.During that race, Goodyear brought softer left-side tires that wore out too fast. Teams had to make extra pit stops to deal with the problem. Ryan Blaney had to pit several times before winning the first stage. AJ Allmendinger, who started on pole, was later taken out in a crash with Denny Hamlin.William Byron, frustrated by the tire performance, finished 12th and complained over his radio about the “sh*t” tires. Richard Petty said the main issue is that new tires keep changing the way cars handle, making it hard for teams to adjust. He said, “The car is what it is. Every time they change the tire that people can't keep up with the car because they don't know how the car and the tire is going to react, and the drivers they've got to learn to drive these cars. They're not Rolls-Royces where they can just sit around and cruise around.” (Source: Petty Race Recap)Petty explained that constant tire changes lead to confusion and waste a lot of money as teams try to find the right balance. He believes NASCAR should go back to a fixed system with only a few tire types each year, one for superspeedways, one for short tracks, and others for different circuits. This would let teams work with familiar setups instead of constantly guessing.
