Nascar nuts...

Sounds wrong.. If they were trying to loosen it turning it clockwise.. right tighty is still on the right passenger/nascar pit outboard side so opposite is probably true on the driver side (wheel turns CCW so the nut should tighten CCW) Fun fact there is a detent that pops out of the tip of the hub to keep nut on. If the tire guy pulls out before the threads pull the nut past this spring detent the nut can possibly unscrew past this safety feature due to inirtial (sp?) forces.
