"what'd you torque the wheels to?"
"ah you know .2 seconds with the impact"
I do that shit all the time! 🤣🤣🤣
nilloc93 “ I eyeballed a 100 foot pounds “ 😂😂😂😂
@@Idontknowjamal My original comment was a joke but its actually not that hard to get 100 ft/lbs with a breaker bar.
@PhreshFunk what i was thinking. Nascar lug nuts are probably used once. They got worn off so fast.
Guido made that shit in 1 second
Joelle Khalifeh look at F1 races. Guido is real. In over 20 forms
Actually, it was four seconds.
I Will Agree With @KooperSpeederYT, It Was Your Seconds

@@mickdick1138 thing is their are more people in an f1 pitstop
Did anybody else find it funny that they were in the gym working out wearing M&M's shirts? I think I laughed a lot harder than I should have
Sponsors...
Dariel Hernandez It would have been even funnier if they took the shirts off and they had M&M’s tattooed on their chest !!
Those checks aren't funny
Working out while wearing logos of a junk food company
They are sponsors
I wish I could accelerate laterally off the ground with 4 Gs.
Just stand up...
@@HemiHalfCentury That's a far cry from 4 Gs buddy.
@Koen Hensgens That's not even laterally.
You could find an old air bag and sit on it
The thing is the 4gs is just momentary the driver is feeling the ~2g's sustained for a few seconds
1,5 SECONDS FROM THE WALL TO THE CAR! WOOOOOOOOOOOOAH! 4 G'S WHEN HE POPS UP TALL WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Not to offend anyone, in F1 1.5 seconds is the fastest F1 pit stop, in the time he went from the wall to the car is the pit stop time of a F1 team
Henry Wade in F1 you also have four tire Changers no Jack man and all the tire Changers are already sitting by the wheels that when the car comes in so what's your point? F1 sucks balls forgot to mention that there's only one lug nut on F1 Cars too
@@henrywade8472Do you understand how inherently different those 2 are? What a dumb statement.
ImmortalHitman I said not to offend people, calm your tits
Often pit crews are overlooked as winners and champions themselves. These guys are vital to winning.
Thanks bro
I don't always crossthread bolts, but when I do, I run them down with an impact.
Yeah. I'm guessing their threads are coarse enough, and the edge of the stud is round enough to align the nut when they shove the wheel on. However, it hella pisses me off when some tire shops put the lug nuts on super tight. 120 foot pounds is all it takes.
Guns Cars and Digits It is not only tire shop. The authorized car dealer do that as well. you would 've think they know it better. I remember I try to break the torque for a tire put on by the dealer. And the nuts were so freaken tight I thought I was going to snap my half inch drive breaker bar. The spec. asked for 95 footlb. But I will say the guy in the shop put on at least 150 or so from his impact...
Less than 120 pounds sometimes too.
you do know on the wheel studs are shaped and totally smooth at the start (no threads). So my the time those nuts go on there; there is no chance of cross treading. google search nascar wheel studs. Or something along those lines
uggadugga
Did they really compare a pit stop to a football play?
The QB to Jackman comparison was pretty good. Never thought about that. The James Harrison one tho was a dumb one lol
'murica!
The average Nascar fan is supposed to understand it, you know.
Trying to make it more relevant
oseart5556 Sadly, yes
I'm going to be honest here. I was compelled to look this up after watching the Pixar movie Cars.

Look up F1 pit stops and be prepared for 2 second stops vs these longer NASCAR stops. Pretty cool to witness.
I'm a NASCAR fan, but I gotta say, the video isn't that good. It skips by many details and is way to flashy. Although the close up tire changing was cool.
+RacerTavi
i agree
+RacerTavi
It's all propaganda to make JGR look like pros. And no detail on the Gas man, Jack man, or setting the tourqe on the car.
well said
They forgot the flag man
And if the pit crew can do over 70 individual steps in less than 13 seconds, couldn't they make more than one point in less than three minutes in this video? Too long, not enough content.
"Can remove 5 lug nuts in 1 second" That is impressive
Can't change 1 tyre in a secont
*second*
Guido isn't impressed
@@thestigsbentcousin f1 sucks
@@manueltjuhh3807 I see u everywhere when there’s a fight about f1 and nascar lol
I'm an F1 fan, but let me say this: NASCAR pit crews and drivers are absolute professionals and experts at what they do, and deserve the utmost respect. The way NASCAR operates in the pits is in a fashion that compliments the demands of the car and the team. Saying that F1 stops are somehow "better" when we're talking absolutely apples an oranges here is bullshit. So all of you guys shut up, you make F1 fans look like a bunch of elitist shitheads that only understand their own sport when it's simply not the case. Racing at this level of performance requires top commitment and professionalism, regardless of the discipline. A 4 second F1 pit and a 13 second NASCAR pit are two different examples of some of the most exciting aspects of all motorsports.
People like you come only every once in a while. Thank you.
CW RH 1.9 seconds*
nascar should also have a centre lug nut to make the pit stop even faster
Then change the name of the whole sport. It's stock car racing not transformers.
its kinda like 24h Le Mans only few people can work on the car
What a phenomenol break down of a pit stop. Crew members are athletes that go unspoken much of the time. With 73 manuevers in under thirteen seconds you cannot deny the fact that they are precision based athletes. Awesome video.
F1 pit stop: *laugh in two seconds*
Red Bull laughs in 1.82 second
Laugh in 3x the amount of crew over the wall* FTFY
@@kylefitzpatrick6926 F1 laughs in improvement, innovation, efficiency and evolution
Red Lorry Yellow Lorry there is almost no individual skill involved in an F1 stop. It’s hard to compare a pit stop between NASCAR and Formula 1. It’s apples to oranges.
Red Lorry Yellow Lorry sure F1 wins in those categories and that’s cool if that’s what you look for in racing, but does any of that improve the quality racing? Seems it’s just created a dominating team that has entire races determined by the first corner. Even the F1 commentators are done hiding their disappointment. F1 is broken, the racing is not dynamic, and there’s little racing that even happens anymore.
Very impressive, military precision and speed. Well done boys.
It's amazing how that impact has the torque and speed to tighten a lug nut that fast and have the torque to tighten it enough to not have to go in a star pattern and keep the wheel on at 200mph
I got out of my chair to get the popcorn for this viewing sequence, i accelerated of my chair, laterally. Call me maverick
I bet you reached about 6 g's then mate

Big Dogs I think you mean “hold my red bull” 😂
This was 10 years ago 😂
Are you actually comparing an f1 team with a nascar team. Also it is JGR not M&M.
Still didn't Show how they put the lug nuts back on Really?
+g6qwerty The new tires come with lock nuts pre-installed. The tire changer has to tighten them.
there glued onto the rim
+Joel Dale
Then explain how they sometimes fall off.
Ya not put on right
The lug nuts are glued to the wheel and the studs aren't thread all the way to the end. Look closely and you'll see that the end of the lug stud is smaller than the threaded part. What this does is when you put the wheel on, the lug nuts hang on the stud and you drive them on. The sockets are 12 point sockets with every other point milled down. This allows the tire changer to hold the trigger and keep the wrench spinning as he goes from lug nut to lug nut. Lug nuts are generally only used one time.
*Me:* trying to sleep
*My mind at 3 am:* what was the fastest pit stop?
Check out Formula One, those pit stops make these guys look like the elderly. But I must say this is still incredible.
@@scootergrant8683 just watched it and holy crap thats impressive
Yup bring it into my recommendation CZcams 9 years later 😂😂
It also explains why many of the greatest drivers of all time from various other motorsports regard it as the most difficult form of racing on the planet and why most of them have failed miserably in their pursuit of it. Makes sense.
Worked for a few years on Australian Va8 Supercars. It’s cool watching what they do in other racing divisions. Bloody impressive if you ever see the F1 stuff.
Any pit crew folk out there, take care and be safe
On the thumbnail the part of the tire shown says yea
Watch an F1 documentary and then a race weekend (Practice, Qualifying, Race) to learn more about the sport. I can assure you'd be impressed at how much higher a level it is compared to any other motorsport.
hey grandmie hoew you been
I been working with tires for about 8 years... I am going to film myself changing tires maybe nascar will hire me.. I am pretty fast.
codemiesterbeats do it and tell us how it went :D
So how did u do
How'd you do
I love how they say joe gibs headquarters in North Carolina but zooms into Chesapeake VA 😂
Damn, this is the best looking video i have ever seen for 2009. I thought it said 2019 at first!
F1 is much faster!!!!!!!
Please...F1 fans, stop making us look like idiot.
These guys are amazing
+William Peng F1 crews have four times as many guys, and they start on both sides of the car. Plus their wheels have one nut instead of five. And they're not adding fuel. They have a lot more guys and they have less to do, it's not surprising that the get it done faster.
William Peng can they do it in 1.92 seconds?
Tito Rigatoni not to mention the weight of things in f1 compared to nascar. I’m betting f1 wheel aren’t steel
@@doodlegoose2262 carbon fiber
EpiDemic117 yes it’s only one lug it and tons of people but you have to be really precise and can’t mess up or everything messes up it looks easier than it does
Error at 4:05, they definitely had to reshoot the perfect pit
Good eye. Yeah that hose definitely got pinched then tangled around the corner.
I loved changing sets in theater because it felt like a pit stop
it opens up a different eliment in the race. Different strategies, and it makes the pit crews a very important factor in an overall winning team.
4:43 Uncontrolled tire
can't we just love all race cars? instead of arguing
Love they guys in the pit 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽❤️
0:48 I love how they zoom in on "the Joe Gibbs Racing shop in North Carolina" but they are actually zooming in on somewhere on the coast of Virginia. JGR is in Thomasville NC, pretty damn far away from that.
I’d say the best pit crew around the time when this video was made is Jeff Gordon’s team.
hey
of course a NASCAR pit stop would be faster than a 242 pound man running 100 yards
10 years later is a good time to recommend this
When there’s mention of Darrell Wartrip, one must say his famous catchphrase:
*BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET’S GO RACING BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
They showed everything without really ever showing anything
1st place: Guido
2nd Place: F1
3rd place: NASCAR
😂😂
4th Place: Mechanics
We need an updated version
Why is the quality so good
just so you know, they banned re-fueling a couple seasons ago, the pit stops in the 80's and 90's were around 9-10 seconds
NASCAR maybe driving in circles.
But pit crews are NO joke...
Science and Nascar in the same sentence = a joke.
Skill and Nascar OTOH do go hand in hand.
F1 put stops are 2-6 seconds long
Rinky McTinky they have one lug and built in jacks
Agreed! Just look at Tony Stewart who won the Daytona night race when he started 41st at the very back.
F1 pit crew “ by time homes is off the wall...our car is gone🤣🤣🤣”
F1 Pit crew: Are we a Joke to you?
Twice the crew size and a single nut per wheel (which also don't require it be lined up to bolt holes), and haven't wasted time refueling during pit stops since 2009? They better be quicker, lol
Science of space : NASA
Science of cars : NASCAR
lol
1:09 I remember these jackets people use to wear ..... crazy thing no one watch nascar I can’t speak for everyone... but I respect these people passion
I saw a vid on here from 2009 where they put a pipe like thing in the side of the car. But i guess that was 3 years ago. Either way your just proving my point on the low amount of phyisical work being done during the f1 pitstop.
What's with all the meaningless comparisons?
yes F1 is very much quicker but the have four tire changers, one lug nut, and pneumatic jacks under the car
+brandon wenzel Lemans Prototype is the one with pneumatic jacks under the car, F1s still use jackmen all be it the jacks use different technology as well. Also, 1 at each end.
+SniperTeamTango yes you are correct about the jack my bad
at Daytona they used to have a pit crew challenge I took part in. I was a tire carrier, We had a crap time of like 18 seconds but it was fun
0:35 "These are some of the most pressure packed seconds..." as a guy yawns in the background lol.
Are we going to have to keep commenting to these f1 queers that there's a big difference between f1 and nascar pitstops. Christ sakes we get it f1 is faster...with twice as many people, one lug nut, and four tire changers. we fucking get it.
Lol
+Keith murray Actually, 8 tire changers vs 4. F1 crews can be as large as 14 people (well, have been, dont think theres a limit)
Also, not allowed refueling in F1.
"The Science of NASCAR" lol
How ironic.

SidewaysGts he finds it ironic because the amount of science in nascar is minimal in comparison with some other racing sports ;) (cough cough F1)
"he finds it ironic because *he thinks* the amount of science in nascar is minimal in comparison with some other racing sports ;) (cough cough F1)"
Fixed that for ya
“Guido, it is time.”
Pure art
during a formula 1 pit stop it takes no skill or athletic ability to do a fast pit stop. f1 crews have over 20 guys (literally) over the wall. nascar has six.
***** 26 guys are doing all of that. in nascar 6 guys do that and then some. calm down kid
***** all f1 guys have to do is sit there and change tires. nascar pit crews are actually running and using there hands and testing there speed on pit road. formula 1 pit stops are just in and out. thats good but compared to nascar these f1 guys will get there asses wopped changing tires on a stock car.
***** being a pit crew member in formula 1 is one of the esiest and less stressful jobs there is
Yes, but these are 'muricans, everything is sport/competition for them.
there is no competition because every thing is the same
You should watch f1
Because they can do a pit stop in f1 in only 2 sec
F1 pit stops are amazing, but their pit crews have 15+ people (3 per tyre at least) and only one nut per tyre. I think it's pretty incredible how much these NASCAR guys do in 12 seconds, and that's coming from an F1 fan
f1 has 1 lug nut stupid nascar has more then 1 we have more stuff to do on our pity stop
This was literally a half mile from my house...right in Huntersville, NC... So cool
Back when I was like 7 or 8 Daytona had Daytona USA I got to be a front tire carrier and it took us 18 seconds just to do one side.
I think NASCAR's pit crews are the best pit crew.
This seems like inefficient showboating, when you compare it to formula 1 pit stops. It reminds me of the dumb bruisers that try to prove he's tough by opening a beer bottle with their teeth, rather than buying a two dollar opener.
I'm thinking the same.
Although I wouldn't compare NASCAR with F1.
F1 is an openwheel series (the most competitive and advanced there is) while NASCAR is a very spec-fixed Stock car series (some say that that makes for better driver competition, but I feel that takes away the competition of the engineers in the teams).
A more fair comparison would be against German DTM (although their pitstops are very F1 like, 3 guys a tire, centerlocks on the wheels, pneumatic jacks build into the car like in Le Mans and so on).
NASCAR has a 7 member pit crew that has to stand behind the wall before the car pulls into the pit. F1 has up to a 23 member crew that is already pre positioned outside the wall waiting for the car to pull in. And F1 has only one lug nut vs NASCAR has 5.
MercOilbuner
You want to see frantic Pit Stops?
Check Le Mans. Only five guys are allowed to work on the car when it's not in the garage.
Sure might take a while for the stop to be completed, but there's nothing more stressful than seeing the car you're rooting for "boxing" for a Full Service. 5 guys who have to refuel, help with driver change, change all four tires and do whatever maintenance is required.
MrFalconfly
NASCAR compares more to wraslin' den racin'
What a job you guys have
Those glasses sum up Kyle bush perfectly
F1 pit change takes 1.8 seconds for all 4 tires. Just saying.
***** Well the F1 doesn't weigh 3500 lbs and is open wheel. Just saying.
I know, it's an impressive feat on both ends, it's simply magic the way those lug nuts come off.
And in Formula 1 you have 18 men in the pit crew in NASCAR you have 8.
F1 have air jacks while NASCAR used a normal jack. F1 had 1 lug and 1 man for every tire. NASCAR has 2 guys for 4 tires and 5 lug nuts
+EqualsThreeable As much as I hate the comparison expression "apples to apples not apples to oranges" it applies here more then anything. First off a NASCAR weights roughly 3450 lbs were a F1 weighs 1548 less the half. Second a F1 ca is open wheel where a NASCAR is more like a regular car with fenders and wheel wells. Third a F1 has 2 jacks and 2 jack men that lift the whole car with air/hydraulic lifts where a NASCAR has a 1 jackman that carries the jack to each lifting point and uses a manual jack. Fourth on F1 every thing is laid out before the car enters his pit where a NASCAR has to carry every thing over the wall and they are only allowed over the wall when the car is 1 pit stall away. Fifth a NASCAR is only allowed 7 guys over he wall to work on the car where a F1 has as many as 21 guys all at once. Sixth NASCAR has 20 lug nuts to remove and reinstall where a F1 has 4. Seventh on a NASCAR the fuel is in cans and is fueling the car is gravity fed, on a F1 the fuel is pumped under pressure through a hose. Want me to go on?? But I think I've showed you the difference, JUST SAYING.
so slow compared to an F1 pit stop , look it up
F1 has 14+ people performing maintenance.
and F1 only has one lug nut on the tire i believe
why does nascar use 1 lug nut to make tire changes faster ?
because they are stock cars, so they try to make them as "street like" as possible and since street cars have 5+ lug nuts, nascar then has 5 lug nuts
whats stock about 800+ HP and no windows,ac.stereo ?
its like putting a camry body on a dune buggy and saying look almost like a regular car
the cars are incredably different which make for different needs in the pits. Along with the fuel and manuel jack, the crew often has to make adjustments to the car that the driver cannot make from the cockpit.
And alot of the time, there are up to 35 cars on pitroad at the same time which makes for very close corners.
The gas man is just like "Sup" 😂
This is like the dark middle-ages compared to F1. lol
Also, fucking american TV.... 5 minutes of useless action shots, 1 minute of actual footage..........
+Eric B F1 has more than twice the amount of crewmen, one man for each job, and I believe they can go into position before the car gets to the box, which in NASCAR, leaving the wall before the car is in the box would be a penalty.
I completely agree on the TV part though, I'm an American and this was ridiculous how much useless footage there was
+. wow. how long did you work on that comment?
+Eric B He is still working on an answer to your comment
+Eric B
and still, technology does not make everything better, one nascar race has more take overs than a whole f1 season, it might be advanced, but it is just an overpayd traffic jam, also, aerodynics makes the f1 cars uglier
I'm glad I missed all of the cot days

Wow, after watching that fast tire change, make me feel shitty on how slow I am on changing a flat tire. lol
This is my dream job. Would be so awesome
Anyone else noticed a lug is missing passenger side front tire when he takes off. I'm dead. 🤣
Notice how when they say losing it shows David Reutimann
The tire changers are like me when I fall off my bike sliding across concrete
I don't have a clue how they do it. Imagine sinus infection, common cold, or injury doesn't phase these guys. They are the awesome to see in action.
