Why isn’t NASCAR running rain tires in the Cup Series?
You know, I don’t believe the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Cup cars should be running rain tires at all. I understand that they once have not only in Japan, but at Watkins Glen years ago, but there is something with the Cup Series COT car that would make it unsafe. Right now, the drivers are having a tough enough time trying to handle these cars in the dry, I can’t even imagine what the racing would be like in the wet, I believe it would be just to dangerous. This is an area that NASCAR needs to just walk away from, at least until NASCAR and teams find ways to deal with this COT car period. Safety is number 1 in this sport and so are the fans.
