CONCORD, N.C. — FOX NASCAR analyst and two-time Daytona 500 champion Michael Waltrip had the opportunity to shake down the new Option tires Goodyear will provide to Monster Energy Series teams in Saturday night’s NASCAR All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway (6 p.m. ET, FS1).
Waltrip, 1996 winner of the all-star event, took a NASCA Racing Experience race car out for a few laps on both the Prime and Option Goodyear Racing Eagles.
Although the car didn’t reach the speed of the current Cup cars, Waltrip said he got a great feel for what drivers could expect.
