Tony Stewart's crew wins Tissot pit award for Daytona race

Wednesday, July 08, 2009
Tony Stewart’s crew won the Tissot Pit Road Precision Award for Saturday night’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.
The fast pit stops by the No. 14 crew helped Stewart win the 160-lap, 400-mile race as he spent the least amount of time on pit road – 238.890 seconds.
"The guys on this Burger King/Old Spice/Office Depot/U.S. Army Chevrolet team did an awesome job,” Stewart said. “They had great stops all night long. They were just consistent.”
The Stewart-Haas over-the-wall crew consists of gasman Jeff "Gooch" Patterson, catch-can man Scott Radel, jackman Rick Pigeon, front-tire changer Kelly Kellis, front-tire carrier Todd Drakulich, rear-tire changer Daniel Smith and rear-tire carrier Mike “Shrek” Morneau. The team's crew chief is Darian Grubb, and the pit crew coach is Joe Piette Jr.
At the halfway point of the season, the crews for Jeff Gordon and Greg Biffle lead the Tissot standings with three wins each. Stewart’s and Jimmie Johnson’s crews are tied for third with two wins each.
The No. 14 team will collect $5,000 for the pit-road win. The team with the most wins at the completion of the 36-race Sprint Cup schedule will receive a $100,000 bonus plus Tissot watches for the crew and driver.
