Tire testing all of a sudden becomes real important
Most of the time we don't hear too many complaints about who is invited to do the tire testing by Goodyear, except maybe a grumble here and there from Roush when he and Ford was left out of testing, now the tire tests have become more important.
It's not that testing the tires has become more important in itself, it's the fact that the teams invited to the tire testing, one from each manufacturer, get a leg up on everyone else because of NASCAR's new no-testing policy.
For the Las Vegas tire test that Goodyear set up, they invited, Mark Martin, David Stremme, Carl Edwards and Brian Vickers, these drivers have the possibility to have a leg up on their competition come race day because of information they get from this two day testing session.
No other announcement as far as other tire testing has been made, but I'll certainly be interested to see who gets invited to those, will they be fair and spread it around or will they keep picking the same drivers/teams over and over again? Only time will tell, but I'm sure they'll be complaints.
Your thoughts?

It is hard to tell if it really will be an advantage to be the chosen few for the tire testing, but nothing will stop Jack Roush from crying to NASCAR when he feels slighted at all.
