Driver, Brad Keselowski, had a brake problem (self inflicted?). He didn’t stop in the pit box. The crew can cross the wall when the driver is one box away from entering his pit box. The results were not very nice–ugly, I’d say.
Hats off to the two crew! They got up and completed the pit stop.
Because a tire bounced off the hood and went rolling away, Brad was penalized and the number 2 car went a lap down.
Ugly day, right? Yes it was.
No further mishaps and Brad drove the car to a second-place finish. Looks like this team made a great comeback.
Not in my interest sphere, but maybe pit crew is a more dangerous job than driving.
I understand. Pit crew has less protection, but mostly sufficient. These [mostly] men are highly skilled athletes. Many come out of college football or other such sports. Because of speed, driving is more dangerous, but pays much, much better.
It’s no wonder why the helmets on the pit crew. Yikes! Glad everyone is okay.
Pit road is a very dangerous place.
