Well Bristol with the PJ1 application turned out to be a great race. Denny Hamlin had his work cut out for him with overcoming a loose wheel twice during the race. His car was the best car out there and with cautions falling at the right time for him he was able to pull off the win. I was cheering for Matt Dibenedetto to pull off his first cup victory but Hamlin’s car was too good for Matty D to hold in off in the closing laps. Interestingly the one thing I did hear this week was that Nascar hands out the lug nut guns at the start of every weekend. According to Denny Hamlin the guns are numbered, some guns are good and some are duds. Denny says Joe Gibbs as an organization keeps track of the gun numbers so they know at start of the weekend whether they have a good gun or not. At heavy load tracks like Bristol loose wheels are common, and for the most part Denny says it is not the crews fault but rather the faulty guns. I remember Nascar mandating the lug nut guns a few years ago because teams were spending thousands upon thousands on high end guns to get faster pit stops.
