Are you kidding? You are assigning definite blame to human error as the cause of this accident without knowing ANY of the details? These are professionals. They have a routine for lug nut tightening and I can assure you that the severe tire shake Antron was driving through had everything to do with the stud failure.

Could have been stud failure, could have been a wheel failure....... also could have been human failure. Bernsteins top fueler was shut off at the line during elims a couple years ago because (quoting then crew chief Lee Beard) "the crew forgot to put oil in it." I'm sure those professionals had a routine for that too.

A spectator fatality is a huge legal deal. A lot of eyes are going to be taking a hard look at the cause. This will go far beyond just NHRA.
