NASCAR Hits Two Teams for Safety Violations

NASCAR cracked down hard this week after Charlotte, slapping two teams with penalties over safety violations—wheel failures in the Cup Series and loose lug nuts in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series. The No. 78 team lost two crew members to two-race suspensions after a wheel detached mid-race, while Ross Chastain’s winning No. 9 car faced a $5K fine and a one-race suspension for improper lug nut installation. NASCAR’s message is clear: precision and safety trump speed, and no shortcuts are tolerated. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
