2008
PIT CREW CHALLENGE
It was a sold out crowd at the Time Warner Cable
Bobcat Arena on Thursday May 15, 2008 at the
2008 Pit Crew Challenge. The 20 NASCAR teams
are seeded based on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
car owner point standings as of May 13, 2008.
Teams compete in four head to head runs to get
the fastest time and hope for no penalties.
KRC has worked with JHE and has supplied all
the lug nuts and studs for the pit challenge
the last 4 years. Mel Kluhsman and Hailey Ross
of KRC attended the event to see who would be
taking home the $70,675.00 purse that was up
for grabs for the Championship Team. This year
Team Red Bull prevailed in the challenge with
no penalties throughout the whole competition.
Team Red Bull has been affiliated with Kluhsman
Racing Components for several years using some
of our products such as lug nuts, studs, stud
beater and our stud chaser. KRC would like to
congratulate pit coach Greg Miller and Team
Red Bull #83/#84 on the Pit Challenge Win!
