The event, a staple of NASCAR’s all-star week since 2005, featured pit crews competing in an arena setting where they would jack cars, change tires and push cars across the arena floor.
The results of the pit crew challenge had been used to determine the order that teams selected pit stalls for the all-star race. NASCAR will use qualifying results—just as it does for all regular-season events—to determine pit-stall selection order for the all-star race, which is scheduled for May 18 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Craftsman and then Sprint had sponsored the pit crew challenge throughout the years, but Sprint reallocated its money to sponsor the season-opening exhibition Sprint Unlimited race at Daytona International Speedway. (SportingNews)
