What was behind the numerous NASCAR tire failures at Texas? (Motorsport.com, Edition: Global)

At Texas Motor Speedway, at least half of the 16 cautions in the NASCAR Cup Series race were the result of blown tires.

Bubba Wallace claimed his maiden NASCAR Cup Series at Talladega on Monday to become the first Black victor in the category since Wendell Scott in 1963. It’s not just Formula 1 that’s set for upheaval in 2022, as the NASCAR Cup series adopts its Next Gen cars that will cast any in-built advantages aside and require teams to adopt a totally new way of operating. After holding his nerve and hip-checking his teammate on the run to the line, Austin Cindric made a perfect start to life as a full-timer in the NASCAR Cup Series by winning the Daytona 500.

Leonard d’Aston, Quebec-native had already blown that number out of the water. Now, if Camirand could repeat his efforts and claim the championship next season, he would further etch his name into the history books of the NASCAR Pinty’s Series by becoming the series’ oldest champion. At the beginning of the year, Camirand had only led 226 laps in his 59 previous starts in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series.

Martin Truex Jr. Calls NASCAR Situation 'A Joke' after Tire Failures ... (Autoweek)

Former Cup champion was leading the race before a tire broke apart, sending him into the wall and out of the race.

He replied, “I don’t even know what to say, between crappy parts, tires exploding and all the bullshit we’re dealing with, it’s a joke." "That's all I'm going to say about it." In a race that saw 16 cautions, half of them were caused by tires coming apart.

Reddick wins NASCAR playoff race on long day in Texas (Fulton Sun)

Tyler Reddick opened the round of 12 in NASCAR's playoff with a victory Sunday at Texas, winning a week after being one of the first four Cup drivers ...

Ware escaped serious injury, even though he was put on a stretcher and into an ambulance after first being tended to for several minutes after getting out of the car. “I went to the high groove where I was making time in the spray and the sticky stuff, but it is not so sticky apparently. Drivers got a chance to get out of the cars for a break on a day with record heat. There was then an even bigger hit when the car slammed hard just past a cutout in the pit wall. But when there was lightning in the vicinity, the cars were brought to park on pit road with 220 of 334 laps completed. It came a week after the two-time champion was eliminated from title contention in his final season with Joe Gibbs Racing before going to Richard Childress Racing. He hasn’t won since, but has finished seventh or better in the last three playoff races. Since he couldn’t keep pace after going into the grass, Hamlin had to restart 22nd instead of near the front. “Goodyear always takes the black eye, but they’re put in a really tough position by NASCAR to build a tire that can survive these types of racetracks with this car. When pressed after the race, Byron admitted that he intentionally did it, upset about being pushed up against the wall by Hamlin during green-flag laps just before that. Bell, the Oklahoma native who considers Texas his home track, couldn’t recover from a second tire issue that led to his race-ending crash after finishing only 136 laps. … I was just trying to maximize and use the gap that I built over (Logano) just in case.”
