It’s one of the hazards when you work in the pits, there’s always the chance of getting hit during a stop. Saturday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck race at Chicagoland Speedway produced another one of those nasty hits, but fortunately both crewmen walked away.
Daniel Hemric, driver of the No. 14 Chevrolet for NTS Motorsports, lost his brakes and hit jackman Graham Molatch and front changer Steve Price during the American Ethanol e15 225.
Both Molatch and Price, who also work in the pits in the Sprint Cup Series, were taken to the infield care and released.
Molatch is the starting jackman on the No. 42 car for Kyle Larson and Price is a changer for the No. 7 of Alex Bowman.
“Man, I’m a little bruised up but I think I’m OK.” Price said. “Most of my pain is on my left foot. I took a decent shot there, but I think it’s alright.”
