Since his untimely death, no driver has died in a racing accident in NASCAR's top three series.

How many people are on a NASCAR team?
Thus, the active pit crew for a NASCAR pit stop is comprised of:
* The jackman: jacks up the car so that the tires can be replaced. The jackman will, also, usually pull the old right rear tire off of the car after the rear tire changer loosens the lug nuts. This is to help get the new right rear tire on faster. The jackman is the one who signals for the driver to leave the pits by dropping the jack.
* The front tire changer: changes only the front tires with air wrench.
* The rear tire changer: changes only rear tires with air wrench.
* The gas man: fills the car with gasoline with a special gas can. The gas man may, also, help pull old tires off of race car after lug nuts are loosened if the car does not need fuel or if the car needs little fuel and the gas man finishes his job before any one else.
* Front tire carrier: brings the new front replacement tires over the pit wall and guides them onto the studs. He, also, rolls the old front tires to the pit wall after the front tire changer pulls them off of the car. The front tire carrier is usually responsible for clearing debris off of the grill of a racecar and/or pulling the front fenders away from the tire if necessary. He may also be responsible for adding tape to the grill during a pit stop for more front-end downforce.
* Rear tire carrier: responsible for bringing new rear tires over the pit wall. Typically, on the side of the car furthest from the pit wall, he will be responsible for guiding the new tire onto the studs, making any necessary adjustments to the rear track bar and/or wedge, and rolling the old tire back to the pit wall. On the side of the car closest to the pit wall, he is usually responsible for only sliding the new tire onto the studs.
A seventh man is allowed over the wall, usually to clean the windshield, and in some situations, is permitted to attach extra dark shields to assist as the sun begins to set. Races in Atlanta Motor Speedway, and in the past, Homestead Miami Speedway, North Carolina Speedway, and Phoenix International Raceway, were known where the setting sun would lead to glare issues on the cars.
Who won the Brickyard 400 from 2004 to 2008?

Can Dale Earnhardt Sr. be considered a hero?
Yes, considered by some to be the best ever, although he didn't win the most races. The competition had gotten tougher than in the days when Richard Petty and David Pearson were racing, and Earnhardt showed a toughness and an uncanny ability to use air flow to make passes in tough turns. Jeff Gordon once said Dale could "See the air". Earnhardt's aggressive style earned him two nicknames, "Ironhead", and "The Intimidator".

What brand hat does Richard Petty wear?
I am sure that he possibly wore different sunglasses than the ones in this ad. I have been searching a long time online and this is the only reference with any kind of supported evidence that I have found so far.
I am sure that he possibly wore different sunglasses than the ones in this ad. I have been searching a long time online and this is the only reference with any kind of supported evidence that I have found so far. He is pictured in his racecar wearing Cool-Ray Polaroid Sunglasses.
I would add that they look like Cool-Ray Polaroid style 300 "Roadmaster" sunglasses. He must have a huge stash of them somewhere, since they always look fresh and they haven't made them since the 70's.
