Question
Is there a rule that stops crew members from using an air wrench to take remove and tighten all 5 lugs at the same time?

Answer
Hi Aaron,

I'm not too sure about what the rules are, because they only give the NASCAR rulebook to teams who participate in NASCAR, but i'd sure like to know!

I personally have thought that, that idea would work well! it would be a 7 second pit stop! But i'm sure if they could, some team would have already done it, so i guess it's against the rules.

But it still would be cool to see!

I can answer any questions about drivers, cars, crews, teams, shops, championchips and any technical question about the rules and regulations of NASCAR. The only question I might not be able to answer is one that deals with the small parts inside the car that help the car's performance, but the stuff such as the body, engine, and spoiler are easy.
