Notes: The tire set-up for this weekend's races at Phoenix is very similar to that raced at the track in 2007 . . . the tread compounds are identical to last year's combination, but an incremental improvement in durability has been incorporated into the right side construction . . . NASCAR Sprint Cup teams ran this set-up during an open test session at Phoenix on March 3-4 . . . other NASCAR tracks at which this exact combination of left- and right-side tires are scheduled to be run are Richmond, New Hampshire, Milwaukee and Memphis . . . as on most NASCAR ovals one mile or less in length, teams will not run inner liners in their tires at Phoenix.
