For the IndyCar finale at Nashville Superspeedway this weekend, two compounds of Firestone tires will be available for drivers to run.
Each entry is equipped with six sets of the harder primary tires and four sets of the alternate compound, to be utilized over the weekend.
Drivers are required to use one set of primary and two sets of alternate tires during the race, adding a strategic element to the competition.
IndyCar’s decision to introduce two tire compounds on an oval track aims to provide varied strategies and enhance the racing excitement.
While some drivers, like Santino Ferrucci, argue for increased bodywork pieces for better downforce and racing, others are eager to test the new tire options.
Weekend activities include Saturday sessions to test the tire compounds ahead of Sunday’s 225-lap race at Nashville Superspeedway, challenging competitors to optimize their strategy.
