AKRON, Ohio (May 20, 2016) — Goodyear, the official tire of NASCAR, will customize its Eagle race tires this month for all NASCAR races at the Charlotte Motor Speedway to support U.S. Armed Forces.
Goodyear's race tires will sport a “Support Our Troops” message on the sidewall instead of the usual “Eagle” logo, the tire maker said. NASCAR will kick off its annual military tribute, "NASCAR: An American Salute," leading up to the Coca-Cola 600 on May 29.
“Support for the military is part of the fabric of our company,” said Stu Grant, Goodyear's general manager of global racing.
