In NASCAR, how many people are in the pit crew? and can you name all of them!?

Answer 1

...The jackman raises each side of the car so that the tires can be replaced. The jackman will, also, usually pull the old right rear tire from the car after the rear tire changer loosens the lug nuts. This is to help get the new right rear tire on faster. The jackman is the one who signals for the driver to leave the pits by lowering the car.

...The front tire changer changes only the front tires. He removes lug nuts, removes the old tire, and tightens the new tire's lug nuts

...The rear tire changer changes only the rear tires. He removes lug nuts, removes the old tire, and tightens the new tire's lug nuts.

...The gas man fills the car with gasoline with a special gas can. The gas man may, also, help pull old tires from race car after lug nuts are loosened if the car does not need fuel or if the car needs little fuel and the gas man finishes his job before any one else.

...The catch can man catches any fuel overflow in a small gas can and usually holds one gas can while the gas man fills car with the second gas can in the latter portions of a pit stop. The catch can man may also add or take out wedge and/or adjust the rear track bar during a pit stop. The refueling gear is designed not to permit fuelling of the car without the catch can being attached to the car's overflow vent.

...The front tire carrier brings the new front tires over the pit wall and guides them onto the studs. He also rolls the old front tires to the pit wall after the front tire changer pulls them from the car. The front tire carrier is usually responsible for clearing debris from the grill of a racecar and/or pulling the front fenders away from the tire if necessary. He may also be responsible for adding tape to the grill during a pit stop for more front-end downforce.

...The rear tire carrier is responsible for bringing new rear tires over the pit wall. Typically, on the side of the car furthest from the pit wall, he will be responsible for guiding the new tire onto the studs, making any necessary adjustments to the rear track bar and/or wedge (unless done by the catch can man), and rolling the old tire back to the pit wall. On the side of the car closest to the pit wall, he is usually responsible for only sliding the new tire onto the studs
.
...During the second half of the race, an eighth man is permitted over the wall. This person may only clean the windshield, and in some situations, is permitted to attach extra dark shields to reduce glare as the sun begins to set (in the event that this happens during a race), and supply the driver with fresh drinking water. The eighth man may not make any changes to the car beyond these issues.
