The seconds saved (and lost) during a pit stop can be the difference between a champion and a racer who doesn't place. If we playback a video of a NASCAR pit crew, we can see all the things they do precisely in an incredibly short amount of time. -This video is about the 5 lug nut pit stop that is still used on the NASCAR Xfinity Series and the NASCAR Camping World truck Series. PIT Instruction and Training has trained pit crew athletes for the sport of NASCAR since 2001. With nearly 70% of its eight hundred and sixty-five students having raced in NASCAR-s top three divisions, PIT has proven itself to be a high capacity producer of pit crew talent for the motorsports industry. Interested in taking the pit crew path? Call 704-799-3869 or email pitcrew-visitpit. com for details on how to begin your new career in the pits. Adam Merrell has been coaching pit crews within NASCAR since 2006 and has coached multiple stock car and truck teams since joining PIT Instruction & Training in 2007. He is a certified and licensed athletic trainer (ATC/L, and a certified strength & conditioning coach (CSCS) by trade, which has strengthened his knowledge in biomechanics and coaching to help place pit crew members at the highest level with championship teams

this is so fascinating. i think i-ve maybe seen three car races in my life - and i adore this video!
and, some amazing lessons on just getting anything done in a team environment: working together, clear ideas on who is doing what, etc. i would actually show this to a class or group if it was appropriate to the topic.

the jack person has the scariest task, imagine releasing the jack and you accidentally place a finger between the lift and the base of the jack with all the weight of the car. I know there-s a handle but compared to f1 jack, this is more insane.

I tried out the Pit Crew challenge at the NASCAR hall of fame! Our quickest time was 17 seconds. the pit crew for being able to do everything in such a short amount of time, that's impressive I know I'm not joining a pit crew anytime soon.

If I didn't know better, it would seem almost comical that so much human effort/energy were put into such an ultimately inconsequential activity. That being said, I enjoyed learning about the process and I'm here for it

I see in NASCAR today they have a guy rip off a layer of the windshield? This video dosnt mention that guy. Is this new did they use to have a guy just squiggy it real quick if it was dirty?

I've always respected pit crews more than drivers. The absolute, nearly obssessive-compulsive discipline you need to make the pit as short as possible is completely bonkers!
reply

Worth noting that the new NASCAR cars only use a single lug per tire, a la F1. The amount of time to tighten that one lug is about the same as the five before.
reply

seeing people compare nascar to F1 in the comments, those are like, two different racing systems. different wheel/hub design, vehicle design, etc.
reply

Right so obviously these are different cars, crews, etc. but I would love to see a NASCAR pit crew try their hand at an F1 pit stop and vice versa
