That pit stop was MONEY — literally. During Saturday’s NASCAR All-Star Race qualifying session, Zane Smith’s No. 38 Front Row Motorsports pit crew took home the $100,000 prize for winning the MechanixWear Pit Crew Challenge, as they busted off the fastest pit stop during the qualifying session at Dover Motor Speedway.
The No. 38 team cranked out a 12.612-second pit stop, which was more than two-tenths-of-a-second faster than the competition.
The No. 97 Trackhouse Racing pit crew was second-fastest, followed by the No. 17 RFK Racing team, the No. 23 23XI Racing team, and the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing team.
