located in all four corners of the car is an air-lift,,,similar to hydraulic jacks,,,only these are air filled,,when the car comes in to the pits, one of the crew members connect an airline fitting with the car, which lifts the car off the ground for service,,, they do the same thing in IMSA and Can-Am racing

Indy cars have a built in jacking system that uses 4 small jacks that go up when an air line is plugged into the car. If you watch carefully, you can see the air line during pit stops. The cars are only a few inches off the ground to start with, so it doesn't have to go up very high to get the tires off the ground.

Visit the following website and click on the guy that has the number 6.

Sometimes if the camera angle is low you can see a metal cylinder-shaped bar that is below the car. This is what lifts and lowers the car using the air jack. Hope this answers your question.

.Fueler: This person fuels the car with methanol, a clear-burning fuel.
.Vent/Airjack: This person raises the car on the jacks with an air hose. Inserts the vent into the car for the fueler.
.Left Front Tire Feed: This person grabs the tire of the left front changer when it is removed from the car. This person also grabs the wheel gun of the right front tire changer and drags it over the wall.

About the only thing you may have damaged is the rock sheild on the backside of the brake rotor. It's no big deal though.

Levitation. The pit crew must have super powers to get on the team. Then they just make the car float.

The cars are lifted up and all tires are put on at the same time.
