The Tissot Pit Road Precision Award winner in the Pocono 500 Sprint Cup Series race was Carl Edwards’ #99 team, not Jimmie Johnson’s #48 team, which was previously reported due to an anomaly with a NASCAR scoring loop on pit road. It was the first Tissot win of the 2009 season for the #99 crew, which helped Edwards to a runner-up finish in the 200-lap, 500-mile race at Pocono Raceway. Edwards’ Ford Fusion spent the least amount of time on pit road — 222.264 seconds. Edwards’ over-the-wall crew consists of: Greg Donlin (front-tire changer), Jeremy Dyer (front-tire carrier), Brandon Hopkins (rear-tire changer), Jody Fortson (rear-tire carrier), Tracy Duncan (jackman), Joe Karasinski (gasman) and Norm Lowe (catch can). The team’s crew chief is Bob Osborne and the pit crew coach is Jesse Posey. The #99 team will receive $5,000 for the pit road win. The team with the most Tissot Pit Road Precision Award victories at the completion of the 36-race schedule will earn a $100,000 bonus plus Tissot watches for the crew and driver. Jeff Gordon’s #24 crew leads in the Tissot standings with three wins. Greg Biffle’s crew is second with two wins. Nine teams are tied for third with one win.(Tissot)(6-9/10-2009)
