Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) announces today that it has partnered with Pit Crew U , a division of Performance Instruction & Training, on a pit crew development program designed to keep a flow of talent coming to the organization for years to come. ‘It certainly is no secret how important pit crews have become in our sport especially with track position playing such a vital role in each race’ said J.D. Gibbs, President of JGR. ‘Weve always believed in developing our own talent through our driver program and our Nationwide Series program, which has seen many team members, including crew chiefs, make the step to the Sprint Cup Series. Were excited to partner with Pit Crew U now to make sure we have a consistent flow of over the wall talent coming to JGR in the years to come.” Pit Crew U has produced some of the best over-the-wall talent in NASCAR with several of JGRs current Sprint Cup Series pit crew members having come out of their program. JGR will work with Pit Crew U to identify 10 talented athletes to form a development squad for their racing programs with the intent to eventually fill the organizations needs in their Nationwide Series programs and ultimately the Sprint Cup Series.(JGR)
