How is it possible that after flipping last night Jac's crew was able to change both wings, and front axle in just a couple minutes so Jac could finish the main... Then later in the race Madsen had a right rear going down and his crew couldn't get it fixed in time to get him back on the track. It should take less than a minute to change a wheel...
I feel for Madman, but whats the deal? Am I missing something?

Haud's crew did not change the nose wing..............it was still bent up pretty good when he went back onto the track. And, as for Madsen, it was under the red for Haud's flip (which Madsen was part of) that the right rear went down. And, I guess from what I was told, his crew did not either have a rear tire ready to go on or did not have a rear tire there. I guess the big difference is Haud's crew was ready for the repairs while Madsen's crew was not.

My mistake on the nose wing....
Thats completely insane. Those guys are that unprepared? What a joke! I'll bet you that if any of the on those stock cars would have gotten a flat, their crew would have gotten it changed in ample amount of time and those boys are racing for $200 to win!
And it looked to me like Madsen is the reason Jac flipped... Coming out of 4 he pulled a nice but unintentional wheely and got into Jac's line...

The second time Madsen pitted, the bleeder was broken. They were trying to repair it. Keep in mind he had already changed the right rear once after the contact with Haud. With the work area being in the infield for the A-main, doubting many teams brought two spare right rears from the pits.

Also, Johnny mentioned that there were several crewmembers from other teams helping on the R19 car.
