Why Pit Crews and Race Day Staff Need More Than Standing Stamina

by MikeAugust 3, 2026

Anyone who has worked a full race weekend knows the schedule does not care how your feet feel. Pit crews are up before sunrise for setup, on their feet through practice and qualifying, and still moving during the race itself, sprinting over the wall for stops and standing by for the next call the rest of the time. Race day staff, from tech inspectors to timing and scoring teams to the folks running hospitality, put in similarly long hours on concrete, asphalt, and gravel that do not give an inch.

The Seven Year Itch – NASCAR Returns to Chicagoland for First Time Since 2019

by MikeJune 29, 2026

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 29, 2026) – Since its debut in 2001, Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois, has hosted 94 races across seven series on its 1.5-mile oval. None, however, have been in the last seven years.

When the checkered flag waved on June 30, 2019, to mark the end of the Camping World 400 NASCAR Cup Series race, it also marked the end of racing on Chicagoland’s D-shaped layout. Save for serving as a storage area for pickup trucks awaiting microchips during the global shortage brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, and hosting a one-off SuperMotocross event in 2023, Chicagoland has been dormant. Scooby-Doo vibes replaced the “Boogity, boogity, boogity, let’s go racing!” mantra made famous by NASCAR Hall of Fame driver and FOX broadcaster Darrell Waltrip.
