Indy: Tire Testing or Racing?

Last year I attended the Sprint Cup race at Indy, or rather, I attended the extended tire test.  While I still had a good time, I am hopeful that this year will feature extended stretches of racing with actual green flag pit stops.


Goodyear and IMS are promoting a "race" this year with Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman all touting a good race. 

Hopefully Goodyear has the right tires ready to go.  If not, what will Nascar do?  Should IMS lose its spot on the Cup calendar? Should Goodyear lose its status as sole tire supplier?

On the other hand, if Goodyear works out, should it be rewarded with a contract extension?  A lot hinges upon the outcome of the race on Sunday.
