David Malukas was on pace for a great day at Nashville until his rear wing decided to remove itself from the car at full speed. If you drive a high-downforce race car, you count on the rear wing to produce the downforce needed to make it through corners at speed. With no real way of knowing if the thing is still behind you, all you can do is assume that it has not spontaneously broken off the car at some point since the last corner.

Given that Malukas was coming off one of the best qualifying performances of his young career, good for fifth on the grid, and looked fast enough to fight for a spot on the podium, the sudden retirement is a huge disappointment. The good news is that tethers attached to the wing itself kept the part on the car at speed even as the main support failed, keeping the component from becoming a huge chunk of debris on a straightaway.
