Refueling pit stops are completely dependent on the track and length of the race. Scheduled pit stops vary from two to six per race.
The Nascar gas can holds 11 gallons of fuel.
The number of pit stops is dependent upon the length of the race. The average NASCAR driver will need a pitstop every 60 miles.
There is no definitive number of pit stops in a Nascar race. This number varies due to the different size race tracks and the gas mileage for that certain race. Also if there is a green-white-checkered finish, teams can come in to the pits once again in the final laps for fresh tires.
3 pit stops average
The gas can that is used by NASCAR pit stop crews is holding 10 to 12 gallons of gas. Usually on a full fill, two gas cans are used. The pit crew tries to have only what gas is needed for a particular stop in the can because if the tank overfills it will cause a fuel spill which will penalize the driver.
On average NASCAR pit crews can execute a pit stop in about 13-14 seconds.
Yes, in Nascar a pit crew is required. Their main job is changing tires and keeping the tank filled with gas.
The Nascar crew member holds the catch can to retrieve the fuel that can spill from a vent on the back of the car during pit stops. Starting in 2011, Nascar has eliminated the catch can in all three series.

Because when you get time penalties on speeding on pit road you can have black flags off but it is still going to cost you some time that's why everyone else is so fast.
Safety for both the crews and drivers in the pit.
if you mean the thing they pull off in pit stops. its called a take off and its a thin piece of clear plastic that you pull of when the window gets dirty
This was the guy that held a small can to catch the overflow of gas that spilled into a special tube when the gas man filled the gas tank on a race car. In 2011, Nascar no longer required the use of the catch can man. They now use self-venting gas cans.
