2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion and #54 Toyota Camry TRD driver Ty Gibbs did not have the best finishing position during last Sunday's Cup Series event at Richmond.

However, that did not stop the young driver's team and the #54 pit crew from going to town on his Camry as he made one of his scheduled stops during the Cook Out 400.

While the North Carolina native finished in a decent P15 position, Joe Gibbs Racing and the #54 pit crew shone at the 0.75-mile-long venue last weekend. The chaotic dance that involves changing four tires during racing conditions saw the crew members dust it off in a mere 8.54 seconds, a record in the history of the sport.

Ty Gibbs rejoined the racetrack after a mere 8.54 seconds stationary as his pit crew cemented their prowess on pit road after winning the fastest pit crew award at this year's All-Star weekend at North Wilkesboro as well.

Here is a look at the record-setting pit stop:

Not only did the pit crew manage to choreograph their tire-changing antics to perfection but the fuel man also refueled the car while this was going on.
