The pit crew of the NASCAR rookie Ty Gibbs won the All-Star Race pit crew challenge at North Wilkesboro Speedway on Friday after scoring the fastest pit-stop of the day. The result of the pit crew challenge set the starting lineup for Saturday’s heat races and the All-Star Open on Sunday.

The crew of Ty Gibbs’ #54 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota team completed a four-tire pit stop with a time of 13.012 seconds and earned the $100,000 bonus as part of the NASCAR All-Star Race weekend.
