Subject: Tire innovation for NASCAR
=========
Dear people of Fox NASCAR,

Half of the NASCAR broadcast on Fox is about tires. "he's got clean tires." "he needs new tires" "look at his right side tire!" Here's a tire innovation for NASCAR...

The right side tire circumference is 87.375 inches. If the tires are not changed on a car, it would make 362,471 revolutions on a 500-mile track. That's alotta wear. How about they go to a bigger tire. Say... a monster truck tire.

The world's largest monster truck has a tire circumference of 377 inches. That's just 84,033 revolutions. That's over four times savings on revolutions.

Here's some images of what this would look like.

Before:


After:

Can you imagine the pit crew trying to change four of those suckers?

MONSTER NASCAR! MONSTER NASCAR!
