NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Teleconference Moments

“It’s a very touchy situation.”

Tommy Baldwin Jr.
Crew Chief for Kasey Kahne, No. 9 Dodge Charger

A question from NASCAR fan Gary Margosian asked by Dwight to Tommy Baldwin Jr.:

Do you know the first team to use a baseball bat on the car to bang out dents and do teams have a designated banger? “

If I had to guess it would probably be the pioneers of pit road. It would probably be the Wood Brothers. We have one person appointed for that. We have more than just a hammer now. It goes back to competition and those valuable points. There is a designated person to handle that and it’s usually the car chief. You could pull on it too hard and break something else that causes more damage. It’s a very touchy situation.”
