Joey Loganos #20 crew claimed the Tissot Pit Road Precision Award in Sundays NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway. It was the first Tissot win of the season for the Joe Gibbs Racing crew and the 15th different team to capture the pit road weekly competition. Loganos #20 Toyota Camry spent the least amount of time on pit road 204.366 seconds — during the 200-lap, 400-mile race. The effort lifted the rookie driver to a seventh place finish and his fifth top-10 of the season. Loganos over-the-wall crew consists of: Ira Jo Hussey (front-tire changer), Thomas Dean (front-tire carrier), Aaron Smith (rear-tire changer), Eric Groen (rear-tire carrier), Jason Tate (jackman), Jeff Clark (gasman), Brian Larson (catch can). The teams crew chief is Greg Zipadelli and the pit crew coach is Mike Lepp. Loganos crew will collect $5,000 for the pit road win. The team with the most Tissot Pit Road Precision Award wins at the completion of the 36-race Sprint Cup schedule will receive a $100,000 bonus plus Tissot watches for the crew and driver. After the 23rd of 36 races Greg Biffles #16 crew leads the Tissot standings with four wins. Jeff Gordons and Jimmie Johnsons crews are tied for second with three wins each.(Tissot), see season standings on my 2009 Pit Crew News and Awards pager(8-18-2009)
