I Am Athlete Crew...The Next NASCAR Pit Crew? | I AM NASCAR with Brandon Marshall, Chad Johnson

listen i'll be honest about it it takes about four years to be a cup pit crewman on the top circuit wow so if y'all can master it in a day we might keep y'all here you might not be able to get out that gate [Music] [Music] [Music] this program is nascar's drive for diversity pit crew program it's a program that was started by max siegel and the late reggie white along with joe gibbs and joe gibbs racing and what they wanted to do was basically bring diversity to the sport and that's what we've done over the last 15 to 16 years when i first got into it they asked me to take a look at the pit stops and i realized that hey you know they're not exactly doing that athletically because it was a bunch of mechanics so then i came up with an ergonomic way of how to do it and i've been coaching them ever since all right so uh let's go marcus let's let's go over here and you're going to stretch first let's do a little bit of stretching receivers don't stretch look at you bro i know yeah i'm ready to go i can't crease these bad boys up now he's new just a nice little truck just a nice little truck you run into i can yo yeah all right let's go home come on let's go come on there you go there you go you know i'm 75. you weren't a future hall of famer vic crewman's helmet dion i told you that jughead will pay off sometimes if they have hall of fame for pig crew they they [ __ ] on us we're the grunts the workers yeah until it's important they're leading the race they come down pit road we do a 14 second pit stop the opponents do a 13 second pit stop they have the lead now so we have a direct impact on it they'll get y'all y'all respect only when we mess up we're like the field goal kicker right to say sound like yep some positions yeah yeah we the field goal kicker we get it right oh he's cool we get it wrong you don't get four downs either now one of the tests that we do we try to see how fast the athlete is around the car so we got a little testing thing over here that we want to take you through first let's uh show them what this speed thing is all about show them what it's all about first thing we want to do we want to set a baseline right okay marcus set a baseline for us 2.0 took him 2.0 next up who's up let's go let's go go chang you got it let's go baby go when i pick my foot up right yes sir let's go you in the pullback hey gap go get him go get him here you go 1.8 big fellow that's good that's good good job good job good job good job next up ready 2.0 good job it was smooth ain't nobody gonna get that one four you ain't gonna get that get that one that's why i wanna do it one point seven i could get a one seven out the gate one seven out the gate it's all about building that hill let's see let's see it it's about doing what we're seeing that here 1.46 yeah good job man good job baby okay it's all about control you slow down you got it under control you instantly corrected at the healthy job you're the man you're the man dion he whipped your ass right here we got this impact wrench i'm gonna hold it right here left hand across the top right hand right here like that yo it's easy i said it was easy yeah yeah that's what it was what was it four seconds nobody else you want to hold it tight now i didn't see anywhere you run with the ball though so yeah i'm a ball like i hold like a loaf of bread right saying you got to come everything slide like slide in the knees out like slide all the way into it hitting the time we have to put the tire from staggering it to the back of this wheel in one second or less and the time starts when the tire moves so basically this is a bit of a finesse and hand eye coordination because the trick is where you place your hands so i grab the tire like this and i'm holding it like this and putting it on the car will be jacked up the tire is going to be pulled off then you go in and put it on all right you get what i'm saying yeah but i just want you to get on your stance so you're going to come up here grab the tape should be right foot back right foot forward left foot back yeah that's it one second it's amazing you guys are amazing it's a 65 pound there's some technique to it for sure we low center of gravity we can get low we're strong and then after you put that tire on you're picking up the tire that came off picking up and you're running with a tire around the car right picking up the other tire from the front so now you have two tires in your hand so you're running with 130 pounds that's why i'm running back that's why [Music] my hands go where my eyes go over time i can look at you and know where it's at just repetitions i'll go slow [Music] how many times you're there today [Music] i don't know but a lot as long as coach is out here and he tells you to keep going [Music] make it happen what came oh damn i didn't sign nothing so i got some crazy glue go ahead marcus all right do it again one more time [Laughter] almost about another hour you have that man should that's okay if it's in the back and it's sparking it might catch the gas can on fire and everything kind of blow up in the back but that rarely happens but it does happen all right crew we're gonna show them a pit stop and then they're gonna do a pit stop [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey because we got professional athletes we brought in a professional driver this is roger carroll roger one at hickory motor speedway back to back we got nick we got regina nick's got two career victories and regina's running about everything in mexico ah awesome you one day might say you know them all right yes sir roger's gonna bring it in maybe a little easier for you car comes in at 45 miles an hour and you got to pick out your car and jump out in between those cars and pick the car if you mess that up you might get hit make sure i get out of there this is live this is it you're in first place all you got to do is nail this last one under 13 seconds he wins the race got it it's over come on cry down hey b come get in here all right we ready yes sir come on crowd out come on [Music] come on [Music] [Applause] i see your boy come on come on [Music] come on 20 seconds hey that was better than y'all did your first time all right so teach me because i'm gonna beat his time what he did you can beat his time 20 seconds you really want to do this yeah i want to try [Music] [Applause] i'm ready what time i need to be 12.5 12.5 is what the pros do what the pros do what did he do hour okay you can't get naked in the garage hey man man that's brandon man what's up you want to make a bet you name it 100 bucks keep it safe save this ain't no chance we went through all the training oh so completely [Music] there you go there you go [Music] [Music] training got tired of hearing her tell you you had this 26. oh good job that was good man that was fast it feel like you know i love the competition you know what i'm saying even the the the work at the preparation will probably go into it like how do i get better so i mean i love it it takes about four years for these guys to make it to the top level each level is a different speed okay what you did right there might be good for orca right because you got to have pinpoint accuracy like we're talking about precision yeah i'm looking around man the opportunity you provide for these guys right here yeah to look on tv in the pit crew anybody to see guys that look like me out there i think it's inspirational well thanks to people like max siegel matt booker myself dion and there's a lot of people that makes this thing happen and uh we appreciate you you know coming out and taking a look at it and seeing what it's all about coke appreciate it that was good this is physically demanding i'll swing on the pitch y'all boys got something that ain't that that ain't easy getting that damn town we had to fight to get a meal yeah wrongfully accused we had to fight to get the pills that's why we write to get a deal here on the team he gotta eat you know despite your skills riding for the fam you gotta light the wheels straight up but in the past work up in the trash bag i'll pass a lot to take the test before i pass class yeah and my family needed bread i had to come correct

I've been loving the collaboration with IAA and NASCAR. Such great content that's bringing the sport to a new audience. It's cool reading the comments on these videos about people not caring about NASCAR before seeing these. They may not be fans for life, by they at least have a new appreciation for something that they thought was a joke.

Not in this video, but the interview with Dale Jr. was fantastic. Glad to see this type of content on NASCAR.
