The Pit Crew Challenge is a head to head single elimination tournament style event that showcases the individual skills of Tire Changers, Gas Men, Jack Men, Catch Can Men who fill up the seven member pit crew to see who can complete a pit stop and then push the car across the 40 yard push to the finish line. Jeff Burton's pit crew won the annual event with a time of 22.115 seconds setting an event record and collecting the $70,100 prize. CHRIS KEANE FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES
