There is one thing that is no match for the Daytona International Speedway -- rain.
The sold-out Daytona 500 is set to take place on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. ET, kicking off the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season.
"Weather is the most unfortunate part of racing. You just can't race. It's just not safe," Forde says. "What it does is it blows hot air onto the racetrack and sort of moves the water off it, and it's really cut the track drying almost in half," Forde says about the new technology."Goodyear has been working on a tire for us that could eventually be used one day at a wet weather track," he said.
As far as Daytona goes, wet weather tires won't be seen in the near future. The new tires will strictly be used for road courses.
