Notes: Teams in all three NASCAR series will run the same tire codes at Homestead this weekend, though those for the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series will be branded "Goodyear Eagle," while those for the Craftsman Truck Series will be branded "Goodyear Wrangler" . . . Goodyear held a tire test at Homestead on October 14 . . . participating in that test were the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Dodge with Juan Pablo Montoya and the No. 83 Red Bull Racing Toyota with Brian Vickers . . . "Our confirmation test at Homestead went well.  The early wear rates were high, as expected, but as the teams tested and the track 'rubbered in,' wear improved significantly. By the end of the day, both cars were running full fuel runs with good performance," said Rick Campbell, Goodyear's NASCAR project manager . . . this is the same combination of left- and right-side tires that Goodyear brought for teams to run at both Texas and Chicagoland this season . . . NASCAR teams have also run this left-side tire code (D-4134) with a different right-side code at Dover, Michigan and Kentucky in 2008 . . . as on all NASCAR ovals greater than one mile in length, teams will are required to run inner liners in all four tire positions at Homestead . . . air pressure in those inner liners should be 12-25 psi greater than that of the outer tire.

Goodyear Blimp: The Goodyear airship "Spirit of Innovation" will be covering the NASCAR races at Homestead this weekend.
