I knew several people that were at the event that day. If I remember correctly he had just purchased the wheel /tire combo and put them on just before pulling up to the starting line. The lug nuts provided were put on and torqued but were the wrong ones and didn't seat well with the rims. As soon as he started moving they spun off. It was not believed to have been anything he did wrong or could have anticipated.

The FD can only lose to another FD. That keeps the honor in the family...
