Scary that a multimillion pound team could be put on their knees by a simple steering wheel lock

how exactly were they “put on their knees”? They were in the race Sunday. The Crew guys were running to get the back-up car off the trailer. Looks like he started 5th. There’s about 30 other teams that wish they were “put on their knees” like that.

Pssht! Any ricer can drive his car without the steering wheel! Ricers are obviously better drivers than JJ48. #Allaboutthatricelife

NASCAR logic: A car hits the wall without major damages and stops at a safe place. RED FLAG!!!

Because it was during qualifying. Not the race. So they stop the entire track, so that lap times aren’t affected, and the timer stops for the session
