Who Should Jack Up the Car in a Nascar Pit Stop? The Answer Is in the Numbers
WSJ ^ | 9 mar 2023 | Robert O’Connell

There are two ways to win a Nascar race. The first is to go faster, when you’re in motion, than anyone else. The second is to spend less time at rest than your opponents, shaving away expensive tenths of seconds sacrificed in pit stops.

Caleb Dirks, a former pitching prospect for the Atlanta Braves who now applies his length and leverage as a jackman, sprinting out with his hydraulic device and pumping the pitting car airborne.

A four-tire pit stop is a frantic five-man ballet—all tight corridors and heavy equipment, set at breakneck tempo. Its nuances aren’t as telegenic as on-track passes, but the difference between a 9.8-second and 10.8-second stop can decide a race and a season Then they found out they wouldn’t be working with Carl Edwards or Hamlin, but rather with the grunts who worked for them. “The enthusiasm level dropped a little bit more.”

“Ricky Bobby, that’s all I knew,” said Marcus Elliott, a Harvard-trained physician and P3’s founder. “We assumed it was going to be the drivers coming in, and we were going to train these guys to turn the steering wheel left.” Then they found out they wouldn’t be working with Carl Edwards or Hamlin, but rather with the grunts who worked for them. “The enthusiasm level dropped a little bit more.”

—”For equity there must be 50% black lesbians.”

No problemo!
They self-identify.

Just like the windshield washer fluid pumped into the air intake.

Of course it makes a difference who the jack man is and his physical qualities. I think that applies to all sports. What I don’t get is why no team in the the NHL ever recruited this guy to be goalie. Lace up the skates and have two defensemen push him and park him in crease.

I worked as a jack man for Elmo Langley back in the early ‘70’s...That was when NASCAR was mostly all “good ol’ boys” and racin’ was racin’...Most everybody knew everybody and we all had good times...

Yes, especially the midgets because they are more oppressed than the black lesbian giants or the black lesbian normals...where the normals should be despised. The black lesbian ants or the black lesbian neutrons should be at the peak of the oppression pyramid and all other "minorities" need to suffer for the proportion of oppression that their status brings.
