Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) has partnered with Pit Crew U, a division of Performance Instruction & Training, on a pit crew development program.

"We're excited to partner with Pit Crew U now to make sure we have a consistent flow of over-the-wall talent coming to JGR in the years to come,"  said J.D. Gibbs, President of JGR.   

JGR will work with Pit Crew U to identify 10 talented athletes to form a development squad for their racing programs, with the intent to eventually fill the organization's needs in their Nationwide Series programs and ultimately the Sprint Cup Series.

Since 2000, Mooresville, North Carolina-based Pit Crew U has produced some of the top over-the-wall talent in NASCAR, with several of JGR's current Sprint Cup Series pit crew members having come out of the program.
