Although the new cars use a single lug nut, the older ones used 5. They could potentially get so hot on long runs that as they’re screwed off they could ignite the spilt fuel by sparking. Rubber build-up in the wheel well will catch on fire occasionally too. Especially at short-tracks where the brakes are being heavily used, they can glow bright orange/red. So there’s all manner of hot stuff that can set off spilt fuel.
Do they have any anti-static equipment while refueling?
Man, the safety crew to take care of the fire so quickly was pretty awesome to watch. The pit group are the unsung heroes of racing.
You can get ignition of the gas when the car spins its tires. The lug nuts/wheel nuts spark if they get caught under the tires when they leave. Rubber pieces from worn tires can ignite on the exhaust or brake components.
Depending on what track they are at if it’s a short track with loads of breaking the breaks are 1800+ degrees so if the fuel touches a red hot rotor it will spark a fire also
Love the NASCAR reactions. Hope to see more in the future!
Or a watch along
I still think one of my favorite NASCAR moments was when F1 Driver Juan Pablo Montoya moved to NASCAR and struck a jet dryer truck on the track, causing it to catch fire. (His name was referenced at 8:40 in this video - though not the incident in question)
Kinda sad though, not many people realize Montoya actually was a very decent driver in Nascar and is a good example that a driver changing motorsports won't always conclude badly. But unfortunately the jet dryer incident is his reputation..
Only slightly over 500°F (260°C) is required for gasoline fumes to 'auto-ignite' -- you don't need a spark or flame, only a heat source greater than the ignition temperature of the fuel.
My employer use to have accounts with most of the Nascar teams. Many are headquartered in Mooresville NC just North of Charlotte. I always enjoyed running service calls to the garages and watching the pit crews practice. It's amazing to see 4 tires and a fuel fill up done in 15sec or less!
I took a tour of the Hendrick race team campus. That place is huge and very impressive.
@@blakerh Another amazing thing is how clean everything is. Hell, you can literally eat off the floor.
If you look closely, you can see that the exhaust ports come out of the cowling at the back, near the point where the fuel cap is located. As the car sits idling, there is an ignition source coming out of those tailpipes. Any spills that occur can drift over to a point where the exhaust can ignite it.
The ignition source is actually the brakes. If you ever watch a nighttime race, the rotors get so hot they will actually glow red, that is what causes spill fuel to combust.
4:14 hitting the exhaust maybe
Mike deserves a break. Lets see how vigor you two are at 89.
hahaha
That level of training and self-discipline is impressive. They know to hold their breath if they catch fire. The fastest danger isn't even the flames on your skin, it's if you inhale the burning air. Scorch your lungs and you're done. Nothing they can do for you.
OB Daz phoning it in on this one. Lol! Almost nap time.
Many of the fires are from fuel spilling down onto hot areas around the tire. That could be lug nits, breaks, and other things. Plus, during the removal of a tire, the lug nuts spark. The other scary part about some of these is that most pit road speed limits are 55mph with the slowest being 35 mph
I never realized what a dangerous job it was to work in the pit crew! 😬
Most over the wall guys in the pit crews are former college football players or NFL players. The crews practice during the week using actual recreation of the pits at their home shops. They film it from all angles, study it and look for ways to cut time, even if only a half a second.
After watching this, everything hurts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor daz looks tired. Take y’all a break boys
I was looking for this comment
Was watching the race this past Sunday and a driver had a tire fall off. They said the guy responsible in the pits gets a few week suspension. Was like damn that's crazy. But I can see cause it's dangerous. Don't watch every week like I used too so not sure how long this rule has been around. More Nascar please. Maybe do some the best of Dale Earnhardt or Jr etc..
American stock car racing is a gladiator sport at every level.
NASCAR currently has a pit road speed limit which varies from track to track (30 mph at short tracks, up to 55 mph at super-speedways). All the way up to 1990 there was no such speed limit and cars would regularly race down pit lane at full throttle on their way to their pit box while crew members were out servicing cars. A wreck on pit lane in Atlanta in 1990 in which Bill Elliott's rear tire changer, Mike Rich was killed was the incident that inspired the rule changes. Before the speed limit was implemented pit lane was an even more insane place to be.
All I can imagine is if Mike watched this by himself and had like 20 clipboards of why all this isn't safe🤣😂
One Pound 50
The rabbit hole seems to be leading to the Fastest Nascar Pitstop Compilations. Waiting to see it.
It's not the liquid that's the real danger. It's the vapors coming off the gasoline.
Any spark they talked about can cause ignition.
A normal pit stop with 4 tires and topping off fuel onky lasts 12 to 16 seconds.
I would also imagine the gascan can create sparks when pulled out of the hole for the tank
It's usually sparks from the lugnuts while they're changing the tire
You can get sparks from removing the lug nuts, or from lug nuts sparking under the tires when they leave the pits.
Daz does a spot on impression of Mike.
Spark from lugnuts hitting the ground, hot exhaust, and brakes that are probabaly glowing red, then add in high performance fuel
The Day Dale Earnhardt Sr
a lot of the pit crew guys are former professional athletes, pit crew job is no joke
The risk of pit lane fires is why F1 redesigned their cars so that they could do the entire race without having to refuel. It's a major reason why their pit stops are now _so_ ridiculously fast compared to footage you see from a decade or two ago. And because they now have to start the race with _so_ much fuel they had to majorly change the design of the entire fuel tank and fuel supply system to the engine, so that in the event of a hard crash there wouldn't be a huge spill and lethal car fire. The new "soft cell", self-sealing racing fuel tanks then made their way to most other racing cars, and you can even find them on certain road vehicles now and even modern aircraft too. Yet another way F1 is influencing the safety systems of motor vehicles in general (along with the invention of the monocoque or drivers "safety cell" which is also now part of most modern road cars as part of their basic frame design).
One of the biggest factors to some of those fires were the fact the catch can at the back of the car wasn't fully engaged. A big safety change was to eliminate the catch can to allow the fueler to engage the can easier leading to less spillage. Especially with hot lug nuts flying off the wheels and causing sparks near spilt fuel.
Spinning out over lug nuts makes a lot of sparks
"Sweet baby Jesus I'm on fire!!!"
The problem is when the fuel gets down on the brakes on the rear tire because they are red-hot when they come in. That is what ignites the fuel.
Actually fire's are rarer than you might think, specially at pit stops, if it was the heat of the exhaust then they would be doing that all the time, there usually needs to be some sort of ignition, like a spark of a lug gun.
I know that in Formula 1, the brakes get so hot that they will sometimes just shoot out in flames. NASCAR cars don't lay into the brakes quite as hard as F1, but I wouldn't be surprised if the brakes started one or two of those fires with all that gasoline being sprayed around.
That makes bull riding look tame don't it
With the fires on pit road, I think it’s from sparks from taking the lug nuts off and hitting the ground where gas was spilled
Id like to think Mike is watching this while eating a ‘fancy’ chicken sandwich and a cold Carling he ordered from room service. 1 pound fifty is all he tips the server.
We like some excitement... No matter what we do, we have to have at least one ambulance on standby 😎✌
Mike only goes places where they have a KFC 🍗
Usually the brake rotors are so hot it sets off the fuel when it hits them
Steel on steel with the air wrench and lug nuts are likely to spark.....Tire carrier leaving the pit box to retrieve the tire WILL get him suspended for a safety violation and fine.
What's up? Just wanted to say love you guys and keep up the great work.
I'm amazed this video didn't have the incident where Paul Menard's burning tire exploded in the faces of the crew members
I’m sure Pettys car spins it wheel which ignites the gas
If fuel hits the brake rotor its instafire
It's the fumes that ignite from the heat, not the actual gas. The gas ignition comes after the fact.
Mike only sleeps in 3 day increments, about once every few months.
Hence the absence.
Try out "Indycar" pit road accidents. (some are much worse because the tire changers are kneeling in position on all four tires befor the car arrives) ! Scott in Texas
As I recall, the Degan crew member that ran after the tire got a ROYAL chewing from the team owner that was caught on radio traffic.
And I think he got his hard card taken (no longer allowed on the infield) for the weekend.
The breaks get hot enough to ignite a fire.
🚗🙂
Keeping looking into nascar with the season being underway 👍
Used to be no pit road speed until a member got killed.
formula 1 hasn't re-fueled the cars in many years i believe they fill the cars before the grand prix
Yah 8:15 if a crew member runs away from their box to catch a runaway tire it will result in a big penalty some crew guys have been fired on the spot pretty recently in fact for doing that
Mike has more lives than a cat!
Daz!! ur breathing's a bit distracting lol
So next trip for Mike is New S. Wales 😀
11:50 man he's lucky the 16 (Gragson?) saw that and dodged him when he got hit, looked like the 16 was trying to pit right in front of their car
It's tha vaper from fuel not the liquid
Static
Loving the compilation and reaction without a corny narrator.
Can u watch nascar big ones if u haven't
Mike's looking good today. Did he loose some weight?
It feels wrong, but I want to see Mike in a different kind of cup.
America has REAL man`s sports. NO sissy stuff.
