It shouldn't surprise anyone that USAC made a call like this. Look at USAC's history it is littered with horribly bad calls. 1997 Indy 500, the new Silver Crown car, ditching the old pavement Silver Crown chassis, etc.
I do have a question: Why doesn't USAC just make the hardest tire available the standard on the dirt and pavement and take the tire wear and vulnerability completely out of the equation?
