the paint on the lugnuts is for visibility purposes when the crew does a pit stop. at least thats what ive been told for.....well ever.

[spudart]

yeah, but PINK? why not yellow?

[racingkat]

well they come yellow already...its the tire changers choice to paint them pink or green or what ever color they want i always paint them pink..

i have 2 tony stewrt lug nuts and there yellow not pink

[racingkat]

yes the lugnuts are painted pink for the pitstops the lugnuts come new yellow pink is just easier to see when the tire changer is hitting the lugs..those are just show cars which is why all the cars dont have the pink lug nuts when u go to a race track almost all the race cars will have pink lug nuts

The human brain recognizes pink faster than yellow.

The yellow is on all lug nuts, its a special graphite coating. The fluorescent pink, or sometimes orange is a marking put on the nuts and even the cars hub to make them visually stick out.

Because Reed is special?? nah, its probably just one of those things. the lugnuts for the juicy fruit 41 car were painted pink and the others were painted yellow.
