A NASCAR team isn't very effective without a pit crew. The car won't fix and fuel itself, after all. So what would happen if the crews never showed up for a race? JR Motorsports is scrambling so they don't have to find out.
The pit crews they were going to use for today's Xfinity race at Phoenix Raceway won't be making the race and JR Motorsports has just hours to find replacements.

The Hendrick pit crews are stuck in Arkansas. The race just got much more interesting as they will be throwing together a crew just hours before a race.
