Loose lug nuts on the 18?

Just finished reading an article in Nascardotcom about Kyle and his uncanny ability to find the sweet spot between grip and spin when trying to transfer horsepower to pavement.
Apparently his ability allows him to find that exact spot on every restart and gear change to prevent any tire spin and makes the most economical management of horsepower transmission to pavement.
What was very interesting about the read was that technical analysts can confirm that the "sweet spot" on acceleration can actually back off the tire lug nuts and it would appear this has been the case on the JGR 18 numerous times this year.
The technicians are adamant that this is the case and have petitioned Nascar with the proof so as not to get any unfair penalty.
I'll try to find the link.

Are the loose lugs consistently on the same side of the car?
What's next, left hand threads?

That's a good idea on the right side hubs.
That's the way knockoffs / center-lock wheels work.
I was tiring of the Kyle bashing so thought I'd plant some fake news.
I almost bought it.

that is a hell of a way to get out of paying the ten thou.
I've always thought he had a special set of matched tires.

you should know by now that some of us don't believe a word from Kyle/Gibbs fans. especially from guys that are upside down or down under.. whatever (but they do post some awesome pics)I was tiring of the Kyle bashing so thought I'd plant some fake news.
I almost bought it.. In retrospect I guess I should have posted this at the end.

I have some left hand threads on my old dodge pick up and an old army trailer. I stood right behind the kid when he changed the left sides, He looked at me like I was crazy when I told him to reverse his gun.
Yep ..... Dodge/Chrysler was the last of the passenger cars to do the left hand nuts ........ nothing but a pain in the rear. I remember a kid that worked for me years ago broke all 5 studs on one turning them the wrong direction

I thought reference to Cope was self explanatory.
