Today’s Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway in California was marred by a series of tyre failures with almost 20 cars suffering flat rears after all running 15-20 green flag laps on the same set of tyres.
Harvick's got a flat: left rear tire and has some damage to his fender. 1st caution of the day is out @ACSupdates #NASCAR

.@ClintBowyer spins with a flat left rear. Caution out with two laps to go. #NASCAR

After Jimmie Johnson led almost the whole race and suffered a flat with about 8 laps to go, Kyle Busch eventually won on a Green-White-Chequered finish that was brought out after Clint Bowyer spun due to yet another flat tyre.
Sounds like there’s going to be a lot of questions asked of Goodyear, NASCAR’s tyre supplier, after this race…
