According to veteran crew chief Chris Carrier, the stakes will be high for NASCAR when racing resumes later this month.
Carrier and the Abingdon-based Henderson Motorsports are planning to compete in the May 26 NASCAR truck series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway with driver Parker Kligerman.
“We’re doing everything we can to get ready,” Carrier said. “The only question we have right now is how the starting field will be set. If that plays in our favor, we’re gonna race.”
In the case of Henderson Motorsports, Carrier said he and his essential staff will make the 165-mile drive to Charlotte on the morning of the race.
Except for their gas man, the Henderson team rents all their race-day pit crewmen from the Stewart-Haas Racing operation. Carrier said he’s still awaiting details on how pit stops will be handled for the Charlotte truck race.
