RF Wheel hanging in the air?

During the Nationals...WoO, Williams Grove the RF wheel was seen about 1 foot in air driving down the straights.

He didn't win but that was interesting. They said is was because of the sideboards pushing the LR down.

That was amazing, but he did not win. Never seen that before. I guess it tightens the car up.

Sincerely,

All the WOO do it on the fast tracks

All wing sprint cars use a really soft comp. (2-3) hard rebound (9-11) LR shock. At a place like the Grove that has real long straight aways, the wing catches A LOT of air & buries the LR frame rail. That's why you see the cars "wiggle" so much there too
