NASCAR pit stops are calculated and practiced to the extent that one slip-up could be disastrous. Brad Keselowski's pit stop on the 57th lap of today's Pocono race exemplifies this. His pit crew stood in the pit stall for what was supposed to be a regular stop. But Keselowski's brakes locked up and his car slid right into those crew members, sending the jackman flying, the tire carrier on top of the hood, and a tire across pit lane.
OH NO. A disaster on pit road for @keselowski and the No. 2 team! #NASCARreplay More: http://t.co/UunGbIo7rO http://t.co/3SAXFonbiP
That tire stopped in the middle of the lane, earning Keselowski a black flag and forcing NASCAR to throw the caution flag. That's just an inconvenience; nobody was injured in something that could've been way worse.
