It's been a fairly busy summer for me, so busy that I haven't had time to touch my collecting efforts in the last few months... that was until Saturday after the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series race at Riverside International Speedway where I picked up this puppy on the way out of the track.

As it is marked on the tire, this is a practice tire from the Wild Wing 300 at Barrie. It also saw the track at Riverside, but what makes this tire special is it was from the race that JR Fitzpatrick should have won at Barrie Speedway until Kerry Micks "overshot" Turn One on the last lap and ran into JR.



There's a bit of outer wear to the tire and as can be seen in the picture, there is some rubbing off the "Goodyear" on the tire.

JR also signed the tire after the race (bad pic of the signature).

Thanks for the look!
 
wow very nice!! congrats on a sweet pick up

I have to ask, can you normally buy tires after the races from the big races (F1, Nascar, IRL)?

I'm not sure about other divisions, but Goodyear gives away their tires after the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series races (saves them from hauling them back with them/having to dispose of them). Most end up in the hands of kids, I know there were at least four or five rolling tires around the track after the race. The plan was to get a couple of these the last two years, but I haven't had a vehicle with enough room the last few years to snag one until Saturday.

I know for a fact that Stewart Haas Racing sells race used tires in their memorabilia shop at their race shop in North Carolina. Can't remember how much they sell them for (for some reason, I think it's $20 or $40 dollars), but again, when I was down in April we didn't have enough room for a tire.. or a decklid, or a quarterpanel, or anything they had for sale in their shop.
