The three major "no-no's" to mess with in NASCAR: Restrictor plates, wheels/tires and fuel.

"We had some lug nuts that had a thread turned out of them, just trying to make pit stops faster," said JR Motorsports director of competition Tony Eury Sr. "We've got a Busch crew here against all these Cup crews it's hard to compete against them. We just stepped over the line a little bit trying to be even." I just did a copy and paste on what I found. Wendy Ok so never mind my last post I found this online..

My fiance worked on a pit crew for an Arca series team and he said all lug nuts are the same for Nascar and Acra. You have to get them threw BSR products and they are all regulated by Nascar and Arca. They are right in the garage area for you to be able to get them and they also have a shop right in Mooresville. Those are the lugnuts that they want you to use and maybe Jr Motorsports and Hendrick Motorsports just didn't get them from BSR Products and just used there own for some reason. Here is the link to BSR's website that show's the correct lugnut and size. http://www.bsrproducts.com/product_info.php?cPath=40&products_id=203 Wendy from Michigan Ok here is one for you..
