One rumor that has leaked from the garage by a unhappy former crew member is that a former Indy engineer is working on a experimental new air gun for a Nascar team. The new air gun "The Squid" is alot heavier than the standard Nascar air gun because it has individual power driven sockets that will allow each bolt to be removed simutaneously with the touch of a trigger. The trigger will spin each socket at the same time allowing a tire changer to remove all the bolts on a tire in the time it takes to remove one. It's rumored to remove all 4 tires from a car in less than 5 seconds with 2 tire changers.

"The Squid" has one big challenge, putting bolts back on. A team would have to put bolts back on the way the do now with a individual air gun or figure out a way to align bolts with a Squid. Currently bolts are glued to the rim and a tire changer individually screws them on one at a time. Because the Squid is so heavy it tends to knock bolts loose from the rim when under timed pressure. If the Squid can overcome the putting tires on issue, then crews will have to work on getting fuel into the car faster, otherwise they'll be waiting on the fuel and not the tires.
