SPRINT PIT CREW CHALLENGE
Time Warner Cable Arena, Charlotte, N.C., May 15, 2008

[/align][align=center][b]+ THE FASTEST AND THE FURIOUS
Mistake free and fast — a lethal combination no crew could contend with when it went against the No. 83 team Thursday night.

The seven men who service Brian Vickers’ Red Bull Toyota didn’t earn a single penalty in
churning out five straight stops under 23 seconds to win the NASCAR Sprint Pit Crew Challenge, as well as the first-place prize of $70,675. And then there’s that little thing called bragging rights.

“Consistency breed

 

So Space, does it seem that another Toyota will win this week?

 

i really like kyle busch but i hope not another toyota win, should be a red and blue hendrick win hopefully

 

I'm going to make two picks... Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards (hopefully my man Carl gets him though
