Goodyear is supplying a proven drafting-track tire for the NASCAR Cup Series Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday. This tire was also used in the Daytona 500 and the Jack Link’s 500. There are changes to the rules package, including a reduction in rear spoiler size and horsepower, which has raised uncertainties among drivers about the race dynamics. Rain could impact both the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race on Friday and the Cup Series event.
