During a routine pit stop in either series, the tires are laid out and three of the four tire changers are pre-positioned before the car enters its pit stall; the fourth tire changer, whose responsibility is the rear tire on the far side of pit road from the pit wall, doesn't take his position until after the car arrives, due to a rule against having the car run over the feed hose for the impact wrench used to change the tires.Simultaneously, the four tire changers remove the tires and install the new ones. Once the tire changes are complete, the front tire changers may use manual adjusters to adjust the angle of the car's front wing.

If you are going to a NASCAR mechanic school, it is a good idea to go to some races while working on your degree. You can learn a lot about the industry. However, you should not be watching the cars as much as you are watching the pit crews. You will see how they do their jobs. This can help you to understand your classes and all of the things that you are learning.
