After a two-day Goodyear tire test at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Greg Biffle believes side-by-side racing will return to the 1.54-mile speedway.

In addition to Biffle, Scott Speed, Juan Pablo Montoya and Sam Hornish Jr. attended the two-day test at Atlanta. Biffle feels that Goodyear is trying to perfect their product for the Atlanta race in March.

"I am extremely happy with the tire that Goodyear has brought here to test," stated Biffle. "They have a new left-side compound that puts a lot of driveability into the car."

With last year's March event plagued by tire problems, Biffle feels that the problem will disappear come March 8 when the Kobalt Tools 500 begins.

"The old tire [in March] lost grip running on the bottom after five to eight laps," noted Biffle. "But this tire really hooks up to the bottom of the track for an extend run and you're not sliding all over the place. It's more like the old Atlanta that all of [the drivers] like."

As well as Biffles comments, Montoya feels that Goodyear's tire has improved.

"I think [Goodyear] has brought a lot of different tire possibilites here and each one is different, but they are all improvements in different ways" said Montoya. "It is encouraging that they are doing what they can to help us and it has been really good.

"What we are running right now is incredibly fast," Montoya added. "When you get here in March with the heat, you will be sliding a lot more. We are just trying to find a tire that is more predictable."
