Goodyear's NASCAR race tires built in Akron
There is an enormous amount of pride, workmanship and know-how that goes into each of the 4,000-plus racing tires that are produced during peak weeks of the NASCAR season.
Nearly 400 Goodyear employees take part in the process, be it engineering the compound, constructing the rubber plies, stamping the tire, inspecting the final product repeatedly or delivering it to the desired race track.
