NASCAR pit stop training will break you.
Edwards jacks the car, while Hicks and fellow changer Blake Houston loosen wheels. Holmes drops one of the new wheels by the jack and runs the other to the rear, then he and Edwards slam them on once the old ones are off. The changers tighten the new wheels, Edwards drops the jack, and they do it again on the other side.“Their feet, their hands, everything,” he said while clicking through photos. “They’re in the exact same place every time. Each pit stop is identical.
Many things can ruin a pit stop, including misaligning the gun’s tiny teeth with the lug or instinctively pulling on it while loosening the wheel. I did that often.I did four live pit stops that week. As I stood on the wall for each, nightmare scenarios filled my mind. I saw myself tripping on Holmes’ tire or my own ankle, hitting the ground teeth-first, or dropping my expensive gun and damaging it.The pit stops came naturally from there, likely because I’d spent months studying. Run.
The week also brought back something I hadn’t felt since high school: the camaraderie only sports teams have, whether it be strategizing minor improvements or quietly laughing when, because we were talking, none of us heard which exercise to do next. It taught me that the thing I’d dreamt of doing for 10 years was as special as I thought it would be.
