What It Takes

It takes more than just a car and a driver to compete on the NEXTEL Cup circuit. Behind the scenes there are countless numbers of people involved in making race day a success.

There are the owners, who have a vision and desire to make this team the very best it can be.

There are sponsors, who fund the teams and expect results.

There are fabricators and mechanics, each with their own dreams of one day being in the driver's seat on Sunday.

There is the machine, tweaked for each race down to the most minute detail in hopes that victory lane is it's destination.

There is the technology, which in case of disaster, the driver will walk away with little more than a few cuts and bruises.

And, of course, there is the driver - tempting fate, laughing in the face of fear and enduring grueling heat, exhaustion and the other drivers.

All of these people, working together as a team and to the common goal of ending up in victory lane are what makes a NEXTEL Cup team competitive on race day.
