Tony Stewart slams Goodyear at 2008 Atlanta race

Goodyear, bad day: Tires a testy topic at Atlanta - USATODAY.com
Goodyear’s response:

Finally, we would like to correct an erroneous comment made by Tony Stewart. Goodyear decided to leave other racing series only because of the escalating costs of competition in those series. At least one other tiremaker has done the same. For Goodyear, the enormous investment required to compete in those other forms of racing far outweighed the benefits derived from our participation. We see tremendous benefits in our 54-year relationship with NASCAR as the organizations longest continuing supplier. We remain fully committed to, and are proud of, our relationship with NASCAR.
