Tire failures plague Kansas NASCAR practice
si.com —
Five drivers, including Ty Gibbs, experienced flat rear tires during NASCAR Cup Series practice at Kansas Speedway, raising concerns about tire durability for Sunday's race. The tire failures involved both left and right rear tires, with Brad Keselowski and Zane Smith among those affected. Goodyear changed the left-side tire compound this weekend, using the same one from several previous races. Teams are adjusting tire pressures, but the issue caused some drivers to limit practice laps. Kyle Larson also hit the wall, while Gibbs posted the fastest lap time.
