Truex penalty

I'm sure they all have either smart phones or tablets. I would suggest they use them.

Yeah, I still think of a device called a 'phone' as a voice communications tool. I don't have use for those capabilities myself, so I forget they exist.

BRISTOL, Tenn. — Until last year, it was a NASCAR violation for any car to leave the pits with a missing lug nut. If an official spotted the infraction, the car was required to return for another pit stop and correct the problem.

But that rule disappeared along with many of NASCAR’s officials as part of staffing cuts, and now drivers often leave the pits with only four — sometimes three — lug nuts on their wheels. After all, putting fewer than five lug nuts on the wheel saves time.
If you ask Dale Earnhardt Jr., that’s an unsettling thought.

“It freaks me out,” Earnhardt said Friday

But teams have been pushing the limit by only securing as few as three lug nuts, creating an epidemic of loose wheels in the sport. And Stewart said it's only a matter of time before that ends badly.

"I guarantee you that envelope is going to keep getting pushed until somebody gets hurt," Stewart said. "You will not have heard a rant that’s going to be as bad as what’s going to come out of my mouth if a driver gets hurt because of a loose wheel that hurts one of them.

You keep going all over the place, I cant keep up. You are talking about officials watching to so they secure 5 then posting articles with drivers claiming 4 or 3 on. Bottom line not 1 tire has come off due to a loose lugnut. Not 1.

I'll go back to painting now.

I don't care who you are that's funny right there!

The Truex penalty amounted to a tiny bump in the road ........... somewhat like running over a piss ant with a front end loader

That is what you said:

They arent running 3 lugs no matter what you say.

I said they were running three and it is dangerous..here is the proof.
