IndyCar's teams and drivers will have additional options for their tires and strategies going into the season finale next weekend at Nashville Superspeedway. In an announcement this afternoon, the series, in partnership with Firestone have added an alternate tire compound for the race Sept. 14-15.
The alternative, softer compound will be used in addition to the harder primary tires as “another set of options, strategies and choices for drivers and teams as IndyCar continues to enhance wheel-to-wheel racing action and turbocharge the championship weekend,” according to the press release.
