WHAT: The National Pit Crew Championship Powered by Tyson, created by
Tyson Foods and the Crew Chief Club, is a competition that pits
motorsports' best crew teams against one another for the
fastest pit stop. Teams will compete based on the actual
skills they use on race day, allowing their performance to
stand apart from the drivers' for just one day. The event
gives the teams the chance to win $100,000, with four teams
having the chance at a $500,000 prize in the final bonus round,
"The Powered by Tyson Pit Stop." Highlights from practice
rounds and the event will be available via satellite the day of
the event.
