Spotters are the most important guys on the team. Because of all the safety devises the driver has to wear he cant turn his head to see if there is a car beside him, and that is where the spotter comes in.. He tell a driver where cars are, and if a accident occurs on track. Spotters are men of few words but the words they do say are paramount to a driver's race and chosen wisely. A slight stutter or spike in a spotter's pitch has the potential to unnerve a driver who relies heavily on that voice to steer him clear of accidents, debris, passing traffic and, on rare occasions, flying Helmets and other things. * http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/features/04/24/kybusch.spotter.jdickerson/1.html
