Teams will be required to run the Firestone alternate tires (green-colored sidewalls
made from the renewable guayule shrub) twice during each street race.  The tires
may be faster than the primary tires, but they wear quickly.
This will shake up strategy from last year when only one stint on the tires were required.

The format used in Practice 1 will be carried into Practice 2 this year - a 40-minute open
practice followed by two 12-minute sessions with half the field running in each.
