Think you've got what it takes to be a pit crew member? I know there are a bunch of us drivers and crew chiefs on this board. Not to mention aero engineers, tire specialists, chassis designers, officials, etc.....

WELCOME, N.C. (April 4, 2012) – Richard Childress Racing announced today it will hold the first Pit Crew Training Combine in its 43-year history on Tuesday, April 10 and Wednesday, April 11 from 2:30-4:30 p.m. at the organization’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series facility located in Welcome, N.C.

The one-of-a-kind event, open to experienced pit crew members as well as athletes with a serious passion for developing into full-time pit crew team member, gives participants the opportunity to showcase their athletic talents and learn the necessary skills to help them develop into a well-rounded teammate. Activities will consist of a variety of rigorous agility workouts and physically demanding tests which include mock training programs and real-time simulated pits stops in high-pressure scenarios normally experienced on a weekly basis both on and off the track throughout the course of a full season. Entrants will have the ability to learn from some of the most experienced and respected leaders in the industry on what it takes to prepare your body and develop the necessary mindset for the highest level of motorsports competition.

“This event is an exciting opportunity for anyone with a passion to become a full-time pit crew member with an elite racing organization,” said Eric Wilson, Director of Human Performance at RCR. “With the right attitude and preparation, this combine could be a vital step towards an athlete’s goal of taking that next step in their career.”

The session on Tuesday, April 10 is scheduled for the positions of jackman and gasman, while the session on Wednesday, April 11 is scheduled for tire carriers and tire changers. Qualified competitors who are interested should arrive at the RCR campus dressed and ready to work out, and check in at the front desk for instruction. There are no fees associated with the event and it is open to the public.

Will candidates get to wear headsets so Kevin can cheer them on?

"...aero engineers, tire specialists, chassis designers..."

When you see an ad for one of those positions, let us know. :)

No, I'd tell you how it really was actually done and then you youngin's would go out and watch a few YouTube highlight's and form your own opinion off of that limited knowledge. :p

That would be cool but we probably would end up disagreeing on a manufacturer right from the beginning. You see I'd be wanting to run the LMFAO Chevy and you'd probably want to run a VW or something like that. It'd never work!

I have a simple solution. You pick the body, and I pick the engine.

Someone needs to be the brains in this operation!

One of the more recent bodies that I found interesting on here was that Amanda Beard photo. I'll go with that one.

Oh, and nice attempt at the subtle hidden message.

Nice body, but it apparently doesn't like racing. Too bad, since I Carl wouldn't mind getting in that again.
