Good save...I didn't hear a crunch so I think he might have saved it from the wall.
Yeah...if that's all torque, thats a statement for the grip of those tires too...

thats why we'd put cotter keys in the sprintcar axle's. the rear end (quick change) has a single shaft sticking out each side (like 3" in diameter) with splines on it, with one huge lug nut. the right rear is left handed threads also when that happens as you slide into a corner at 140mph, the results are a little more costly

i bet he was glad as hell that he wasnt in the LEFT LANE on that pass. he would have molested the wall!!

Happened to a local guy who put 2 spacers on each side to get his Weld wheels to fit. Sheared off the lugs. Dumb move.
