Plssss do I become a racer
#17 is done
No really?
First
Nah I was
Need 5 lugs back
All they got is one lug nut.
They can’t even tighten 1. Wtf is 5 gonna do?
Someone’s just earned a vacation.
Chris Buescher lost his front tire!
Who’s getting fired?
@@lylecoglianese1645 nah imma tell ya what’s wrong with it…
Ain’t got no gas in it…
“You picked the fine time to leave me loose wheel”
Yo dawg , that joke is just old AF mang.
@@TowMater603so?
@@ShakeNbake2647 Oldie but a goodie as they say!
I assumed as much seeing the changes for the next gen cars. It isn’t a lug anymore, is an axle-nut, and running that fast on a track that’s a little less than smooth isn’t the best of choices when securing the tire. 5 lugs is 5 different points of security. These “lug nuts” are just 1.
Yes, and the cars are too heavy for that single wheel nut are F1 Indy cars sprint cars midgets their not made for 3500 pound cars.
Both you, Go and learn how an actual wheel brake hub axle spindle assembly actually works an how it’s assembled, then come an post a logical response. 5 is NOT better then one. not ever.
@@briansmith5469 V8 Supercars weigh around the same as the Cup Series cars yet they’ve been using single wheel nuts for almost 3 decades if not more. In fact the Next Gen is heavily inspired by V8 Supercars
@F1NATIK
Well, growing up in sprint car racing, I do know how a wheel nut works and wheel spacers. They are all aluminum right side tires are reverse threads but left are standard, and super v8s are definitely lighter, and every track F1 most indy car are not ovals. Sprint weights around 1300lbs and generally run higher rpms, and you can only tighten the nut only so tight, or trust me, you won’t get them off the wheel. Now, where the old lugs on and wheel studs were steel, yes steel on a nascar. Just like any roll cage, it’s steel. Build a sprint car frame out of aluminum and see what happens. So I don’t have to understand basic g-force and weight. DMBFK.
@F1NATIK The minimum weight of each car is 1,335 kilograms (2,943 lb) including the driver and excluding the fuel. Well, cup cars are now right at 3500 lbs, no driver, and no fuel
So yeah, weight has a lot to do with it.
Y’know, it’s the 3rd year of the next gen car, and you’d think they’ve figured out how the single lug wheels would work, but apparently not, they need lessons from F1 on how it works again….
#17 also won the 2003 event here in a much better looking car than this
What’s side by side? Mike joy always says that
That’s when they do a split screen, with commercials on one half and the live race on the other half. So they can get the commercials in but still show all of the action.
“Hook a wrecker to it, I’d say his day is done” laziest idea I’ve heard in awhile out of nascar…
Hard ? nahh that was a brush.
What lap did this happen
everyone’s gonna complain and be like “5 lUgNuTs 5 LuGnUtS”
I mean, we do have a point. Lose 1 and still have 4 remaining…
Someone on his pit crew must’ve been sick on lug nut day
“#17 lightly taps wall after losing entire wheel”
Fixed your title for you.
And if you had the ol 5 lug wheels this crap wouldn’t keep happening. You want to make these cars something they shouldn’t be..
