NASCAR has a loose nuts problem.
While NASCAR crews have less control over their equipment, the penalties are typically harsher than what is found in many other series where a loose wheel will typically result in a warning the first time that it happens. A loose wheel in a NASCAR race typically means that a crew chief and two crew members can be suspended for four races, likely why loose wheels have received so much publicity in NASCAR this year.
The new wheels overhauled pit stops—and six months into the season, NASCAR’s penalty system may finally catch up with its new reality. While the old system suspended a team’s tire changer, jack handler, and crew chief for four weeks in the instance of a loose wheel rolling off of their race car,, ineligible to get their laps back via the free pass or wave-around.
There are a lot of paths to reduce loose wheel issues and many have already been taken up by teams as they’ve adapted their choreographies and worked on introducing signals in order to prevent a car from leaving if an issue does pop up. The best solution at this time seems to be to find a time range that might be slightly slower than what a crew is capable of in order to give a cushion of a few tenths of a second in order to prevent mistakes from happening.
