NASCAR has no plans to change the number of pit crew members allowed over the wall for pit stops for the 2017 season.
NASCAR continues to work on more than two dozen projects aimed at improving safety, enhancing efficiency and improving competition. It is possible pit stop changes could be considered for 2018 if they meet those criteria, a NASCAR spokesman confirmed.
"Pit stops are an important and unique element to our sport," Kurt Culbert, NASCAR Managing Director, Racing Communications, told NASCAR.com "If we think changes in that area will make our races safer, add excitement and/or create efficiencies, we certainly will look at it, but there will be no changes to the composition of the over-the-wall pit road crews for 2017."
