It took a team with a former Appalachian State Fullback and two former college hockey players to win the Sprint Pit Crew Challenge presented by Craftsman.
Vickers’ team beat the team of Denny Hamlin, with a time of 23.011 seconds, giving them pit selection number 1 for the All-Star Race Saturday, and they also collected a $70,000 prize.
Records:
| Crew Member Name | Position | Team | Time |
| Eric Wilson | Jackman | No. 9 Budweiser Dodge | 5.431 seconds |
| Caleb Hurd | Gas Man | No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet | 10.031 seconds |
Hendrick continued their bad luck in the competition, all Hendrick teams were eliminated in or before the quarterfinals, leaving them without a showing in the semifinals for the third year.
