NASCAR just dropped a massive penalty on Trackhouse Racing after a dangerous wheel detachment during the 2026 COTA race. Two key pit crew members from Ross Chastain’s No. 1 team — rear-tire changer Kenneth Pozega and jackman Josh Appleby — have been suspended for the next two Cup Series races at Phoenix and Las Vegas. The wheel came off on Lap 75 under green-flag conditions, ending what was shaping up to be a dominant day for Chastain, who won Stage 1 and had the fastest lap before plummeting to 35th. Fans are furious, blaming NASCAR’s controversial single-lug nut design on the Next Gen car for the ongoing wave of loose wheel incidents.
