NASCAR: The 10 Worst Pit Road Accidents

No. 8 – Pit Road Explosion

The last thing you want during a NASCAR event is for their to be any sort of explosion on pit road. Back in 2013 things got a bit heated on the No. 27 machine of Paul Menard and the result was a tire explosion that caught his crew by surprise.

The crew knew it was going to be an issue as he hit pit road since the car was already on fire. That fire only grew when it caused on of the tires to blow on the car.

One of the more interesting things here is how long it took NASCAR to throw the caution flag in this situation. The radio communication throughout all of this was also pretty entertaining. Given the unexpected nature of the tire blowing, it was fortunate that nobody was hurt on the No. 27 team.
