Addition of A Seeding Round And A “Call-Out” Round in NASCAR Nextel Pit Crew Challenge

May 15, 2007

This year’s NASCAR NEXTEL Pit Crew Challenge features two significant format changes – the addition of a seeding round and a “call-out” round.

Following is the order of competition:

* Seeding round: New this year, all participating teams are seeded based on the series’ car owner standings as of May 13. The top eight teams receive a bye into the second round. They also will compete in the seeding round to determine their ranking for the rest of the competition, with the top seed posting the fastest overall time. Thus, the top seed could receive a lower seed, and vice-versa.
