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. <br /><br />*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.<br /><br />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.
