    How much are lugnuts: A lugnut costs $1, and there are five lugnuts per tire. Since the tracks vary in length, tire changes vary, but the average cost of lugnuts for one car during the entire season is between $8,000-10,000, according to NASCAR's parts supplier Glenn Cox. A team that has four cars spends almost $40,000 a season alone on those little nuts.

    but then every team sells those used lugnuts in their gift shops for $3 a piece.
