"All of us at Goodyear are extremely proud to celebrate 60 consecutive years of supplying race tyres to NASCAR and its drivers. Since 1954 our involvement in NASCAR has been a proving ground for tire development, helping Goodyear provide superior performance and innovation both on and off the track," said Stu Grant, General Manager of Goodyear Global Race Tyres.
Much like how the cars of NASCAR have evolved over the decades, today's Goodyear Eagle race tyres bear little resemblance to the standard auto and police tyres used in the early 1950s.
Goodyear's dedication to tyre performance led to purpose-built tread-bias race tyres in 1957, to slick-bias race tyres in 1974 and to the first radial racing tyres in 1988.
And just last year, Goodyear's 2013 racing season was highlighted by the rollout of the firm's latest innovation, Multi-Zone Tread Technology. Featuring two distinct tread compounds in a single right-side tyre, the concept was inspired by similar innovations in a Goodyear passenger tyre - the Assurance TripleTred All-Season.
After its Atlanta debut in 2013, Goodyear brought a different version of the Multi-Zone Tread tyre to the repaved track at Kansas, and in addition, Goodyear will run the Multi-Zone Tread tyre at both Texas and Richmond in 2014. More tracks will likely be added as the season progresses.
Goodyear celebrates 60 years as key tyre supplier to one of the most famous motorsports in America and perhaps the world - NASCAR racing.
