Sunday’s FedEx400 Sprint Cup Series race at Dover International Speedway showed why crew chiefs get paid the big bucks.
NASCAR Dover Results: Matt Kenseth Wins With Two-Tire Pit Call
With an excess of rubber buildup on the bottom groove that made it difficult for drivers to pass all day, Matt Kenseth’s crew chief Jimmy Fennig called for just two tires on the final pit stop with 34 laps remaining.
Though it seemed like an iffy call at the time, it proved to be the right one: Kenseth went on to win, and the best cars all day long – Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards and Clint Bowyer – were all denied top-three finishes.
Stay tuned for more on this story.
