Activity Overview
If wheels spin, it means cars aren’t moving forward. For race teams, that means they aren’t on their way to winning. Loss of traction can also mean a potential crash so for them, maintaining “grip” is EVERYTHING. A leading question that NASCAR engineers ask is, “How fast can I go around this curve without spinning out?”
