Nascar Pit Stop

[PhantomDrums917]

Why does the man holding the empty gas can pump it up and down ? Is he letting the driver know that the gas can is disengaged from the car and that he can leave when ready? Seems that they all do that.

[RacerMGM14]

@PhantomDrums917 just letting the crew chief know that the gas is done and he can tell the driver to go

[greggybone72]

The car sitting still from 0:19 to 0:40 ..Clearly these guys have to work on the car all week and not just show up on Saturday to change tires.

[legomaker8]

That was like 20 seconds! so slow

[UNpilot15]

@legomaker8 I'm guessing lower end teams have slower crews?

[Raptormau]

@hashrygeren and DTM also... actually nascar is one of the least awesome racing series ever.

[dogeatme]

That is a very very weird pit stop that Nascar do......

[BurningThund3r]

Car is from the Nationwide Series. The race was the 2005 Meijer 300 at Kentucky Speedway, the driver of the #43 Scott Towels / Remke Markets Ford was Aaron Fike, and he finished in 18th place, 1 lap down.

[Seanskippa]

nationwide or sprint?

[minecraft5557]

[ahrimismyname]

[DaBoogie049]

[bigape6]

@DaBoogie049 you're forgetting f1

[josh666675]

sweet except ur emo

[NickWood07]

This is a Nascar Busch Series race. The year: I'd estimate about 2004 or 2005 based on the car model shown (Ford Taurus)

[seal0716]

What kind of race is this? That was about a 21 sec pit stop

[allenrw3]

@seal0716 the nascar (then) busch series. pause it at 0:37 and look at the oval sticker on the left. it's the very top one.

[wildfast88]

that is SO cool

[yog28]

Hard work...

[ilove69too]

the small tank is to catch excess fuel

[djhellita]

What's the little tank for?

[UglyMaleee]

portable gas lol!

[xXFrikaXChika95Xx]

umm... i thnk tht my mom's bf... lol but fr real...

[vtwinbreed]

Your dad's a pit jockey. lol

[C5R2]

woaa nice video man!

your dad is the gasman?! or w/e he does its awesome haha

[SAMMYJS99]

yeah.

6 and 7 second F1 pitstops. talk about seat-of-your-pants fly by.

[TGTAP]

but in f1 pitstops there are more people, in nascar you can only have 5 people over the wall,but f1 pitstops are rle fast

[uscgswimmers]

you actually have 7 over the wall pit crew paople

[KieranBurke1]

f1 stops are much easier

[KieranBurke1]

no comparison

[JL445]

I was in the pit crew for nextel last year each can weights up 90 to 100 lbs on your shoulder?

[machu004]

no, if they had a "fuel spill" penalty , every car at every race would get it, on every stop, theres always a tid bit of gas that comes out of the overflow, once the catch-can is removed

[crazycharlster]

no penalty against spilt fuel?

[TGTAP]

only if it's alot, there's always a small spill

[temteen]

Oh good

[Chupacabrayo]

why does the gas man wait so long to put the 2nd tank in?

[jonaolin]

So that he doesnt get in the way of the tire changers, because anyway he is going to finish refueling before they change the left side tires.
