A statement from Indianapolis Motor Speedway President and Chief Operating Officer Joie Chitwood about the 15th Allstate 400 at the Brickyard on Sunday, July 27 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway:
"We appreciate NASCAR and Goodyear working closely together to manage the tire situation and to get the cars to the checkered flag of the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. Obviously, it's not the race you want to present to the largest crowd to watch a stock car race this year, but we do appreciate the hard work of the drivers and teams.
"The track surface hasn't changed since 2005, and I don't anticipate any changes to the surface in the immediate future.
"We will continue to work with NASCAR and Goodyear before next year's Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. If more testing is needed, we will make the facility available in an effort to present a safe, competitive race for the fans in 2009."
