What did the catch can man do on a Nascar pit crew?
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.

How much gas does a Nascar race car hold?
Actually, the gas can itself can only hold 11 gallons of gas, that's why you always see the gas man putting in two cans worth of gas during a regular pit stop. Yes, 11 gallons is what the can is suppose to (and designed to) hold, however, there are some very clever people in Nascar who got as much as "11.7 gallons" from a can, neck, an vent included. That coupled with oversized gas lines, vent tubes, etc., consider stronger tube material with thinner wall thickness. every aspect of race(car/truck/etc.) is scrutinized for what ever edge they can get. Mileage is very important in winning, gastanks, cans, lines, are well thought out. Though at some tracks, NASCAR mandates a smaller fuel cell to spread out the field (like Daytona and Talladega)
