NASCAR Sprint Cup Series director Robin Pemberton apologized Tuesday for the tire issues that marred Sunday’s Allstate 400 at the Brickyard and said that NASCAR and Goodyear have already started working on avoiding another similar debacle.
“I can't say enough how sorry we are,” Pemberton said. “It's our responsibility being NASCAR that we don't go through this situation again.” Pemberton’s comments on a teleconference with reporters made him the second top NASCAR official in two days to apologize for the race Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, in which teams were unable to run more than about 10 laps before tires wore out beyond use. Jim Hunter, NASCAR’s vice president of corporate communications, also apologizes Monday afternoon in an interview on Sirius NASCAR Radio.
