NASCAR Busch Series -- Race No. 20 -- USG Durock 300
Chicagoland Speedway (1.5-mile oval) -- Joliet, Ill.

Fast Facts for July 13-15, 2007
Tire: Goodyear Eagle Speedway Radials

Number of Tires: Nextel Cup: Left-side -- 1,475, Right-side -- 1,475

Estimated Pit Window: Every 50-55 laps, based on fuel mileage (Nextel Cup).

Notes: Teams in both the NASCAR Nextel Cup and Busch Series will run the same tire codes at Chicagoland this weekend . . . this is the same specific combination of left- and right-side tires that Nextel Cup and Busch Series teams ran at Texas earlier this season . . . in addition, teams in these two series have run this left-side code (D-4078) with a different right-side code at several other tracks this season, including California, Dover and Michigan . . . Busch teams have also run this left-side code at Kansas and Kentucky in 2007 . . . as on all NASCAR ovals greater than one-mile in length, teams are required to run inner liners in all four tire positions at Chicagoland . . . air pressure in those inner liners should be 12-25 psi greater than that of the outer tire.
