The pit road speed all depends on the size of the track and amount of space on pit road. The bigger tracks can be as fast as 55mph while the shortest tracks can be as slow as 30mph. Some pit roads are very tight and crowded which calls for a slower pit road speed to keep crewman and officials safe. Pit roads that have more space for cars to maneuver will allow for faster pit road speeds while still allowing for the safety of crewman and officials. The drivers get their pit road speed before the race when they are behind the pace car because the pace car travels at pit road speed. Since they don't have speedometers in the car they use the tachometers and see what RPM is the correct speed for pit road.
On race day, 43 active pit crews participate in the Nascar Sprint Cup Series. The drivers who did not make the race also have their own pit crews.
Everyday.
Safety for both the crews and drivers in the pit.
Yes, pit crews have to be very fast so that the racecar can get back in the race asap.
They can change it in 7seconds
Most of the time the pit crews do a 4 tire change and add a full tank of gas in about 12-14 seconds.
The pit crew does not build engines. The teams engine department does this. The pit crew services the car during a race by fueling, changing tires and fixing the car so it can return to the race if the car gets damaged.
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.

It depends of the track. Short track like Bristol or Martinsville, the speed limit in 45mph because the pit lane in narrow and the cars are closer to each other.
