At least for the cup teams each pit cart has the nitrogen tanks replaced with 4 new nitrogen tanks before they are taken out to the pit stall.  3 years ago when Nascar started supplying the air guns for pit stops they started have trouble with the air guns failing.  Nascar found the cause of the failures was the teams started using helium which was spinning the guns at a higher RPM and taking the bearings out.

I’ve only used Dillon once and I thought about it but just couldn’t pull the trigger.😂

Same here, this is my second time. He's been terrible this year. Last year he got a win and was getting some results, hoovering around 10th place. But he's way back in 29th this season. I thought Busch would elevate that entire team but not so.

Eric Jones is another one. I haven't picked him once. He's in 27th. Last year he got a win and was 18th at the end.

 

I'm hoping he's got one descent finish in him but I'm sure by half way he'll be sucking it around 25th....lol

At least Jones has a good reason why they aren't running well. The RCR teams are still getting support from Chevy, Legacy is not.

Jones had a good run at Darlington where he has won twice but other than that I agree John.

He definitely has Darlington figured out. I'm not really a fan of Toyota, but hopefully he does better next year.

LEGACY MOTOR CLUB announced that John Hunter Nemechek will drive the No. 42 NASCAR Cup Series entry when the Club transitions manufacturers from Chevrolet to Toyota in 2024.
The 26-year-old driver will join teammates Erik Jones and LEGACY M.C. co-owner Jimmie Johnson, who plans to drive a limited schedule once again in 2024.

Chevy said I don't think so

Last pit road of the year for me.  

Interesting note when Truex's car was towed in Chad Knaus was one of first guys looking at it
