NASCAR NEXT GEN PIT STOPS: Pit Gun Breakdown | Stewart-Haas Racing

One of the newest features of this #NASCAR season is the larger pit guns on pit road to accompany the new single lug nut wheels in the Cup Series. No. 4 rear tire changer Daniel Smith breaks down the difference between last year's pit gun and this year's pit gun.

I had no idea they even changed, it’s interesting. I sort of miss the old sound of multiple lug nuts coming off/going on though to be honest.

[@StewartHaasRacing]

Yeah it's very interesting!

[@castironbandito]

These single-lug hubs make pit stops faster and it also means that NASCAR is evolving and catching up to other motorsports. Awesome work on this vid, SHR! 👍

[@alvarohsf]

Man, your explanations are making me interested in pit stops again. Thanks.

[@burritobear2303]

Always wondered how you guys could keep up with 5 nuts that fast, had a friend ask and I felt glueing em on pre race was probably the most logical so that’s what I told him. Took a year but I finally know I didn’t lie

[@NazriB]

Lies again? Gun Oil Blood Of Malay

[@BrookieLikesCars]

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing this

[@StewartHaasRacing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Justins00ss]

Sick! Always wondered what brand gun. Thats a 7k dollar piece. Hell yeah

[@InfinityTheGreat]

Informative I like it!

[@StewartHaasRacing]

I'm glad!

[@InfinityTheGreat]

@@StewartHaasRacing cant wait for Talladega!

[@19KiloM1A1]

Again NASCAR behind the curve. Others racing has been using this for decades

[@TheMightyBurger]

and no captive nut? jesus, talk about stone age

[@hilldwler420]

What’s the crew’s opinion on the one lug system?

[@jeffcanyafixiy]

Excellent video.
As an ole fan,, I actually want to know these nuances to the sport.
Keep all that drama crap on the TV shows, I like seeing cool stuff like this.
Any chance you guys need Clint back?? I'm tired of listening to him. PLEASE!!!

[@billymanilli]

Sure would be a neat career!

[@jimosborne9964]

What happens when you cross thread the hub? Do you have a nut that creates new threads?

[@lucaswilliams5562]

Valtteri bottas found out in Monico last year. This is more similar to f1 wheel guns now

[@lucaswilliams5562]

But if you cross thread I’m sure the nut would strip and force a retirement.

[@briangriffinfamilyguyfan81]

Cool stuff

[@lopezdamien5003]

You can't use the Dp 7000 Hurican paoli ?
It's because you still have the jack man and you don't need faster gun?

[@dulantha99]

how do you keep the gun in place when it applies the 600lb/ft of torque? You can't be holding it right? I think I've seen some guys (non-Nascar) that have two arms that lock on to the wheel to keep the gun in place.

[@camcam8296]

You never use a impact gun before

[@InfinityTheGreat]

Wanna sign up for my NASCAR Aero Cup Series Season 2? 14 and 41 are the only stewart haas cars left

[@The_Baker_Social]

Looks like the tire changer picked off a piece of burning rubber and tossed it into the spilled fuel. Hard to see since it goes so fast

[@beancounter8079]

Why do wheels still fall off?

[@captlucky2320]

How long before they go electric with the battery technology today

[@israelmendoza6202]

I just wanna know how it never gets cross threaded

[@Virtuaalipepe]

Big enough thread and enough speed and power! First part of the thread takes some damage once in a while but it will find its way in!

[@someonethatwatchesyoutube2953]

600lb/ft is nuts!

[@StewartHaasRacing]

It’s wild
