Do you remember when you were a little kid in your backyard playing whiffle ball with your buddies? You always pretended it was the bottom of the ninth in game seven of the World Series. There were two outs, the bases were loaded, and your team was down three runs. You strode to the plate [...]

During the race, pit road can be a busy place. Under cautions, it’s not uncommon for 30 or more cars to hit pit road for service. When that happens, teams are at the mercy of those around them in regard to how they can get in and out of their pit stall. But during green [...]
