Notes: Teams in both the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series will run the same tire codes at Las Vegas this weekend . . . teams in these two series will be running the same right-side tire code (D-4234) they ran at this track in 2009, but it will be paired with a new left-side code (D-4316) . . . compared to last year's left-side tire, the 2010 version features a slight construction change based on what Goodyear learned at both the Las Vegas and Charlotte races in 2009 . . . the left-side compound remains unchanged from last year . . . Sprint Cup and Nationwide teams ran this right-side code at both Las Vegas and Charlotte last year, and will do so again this year . . . as on all NASCAR ovals greater than one mile in length, teams are required to run inner liners in all four tire positions at Las Vegas . . . air pressure in those inner liners should be 12-25 psi greater than that of the outer tire.
