Joe Gibbs Racing made an electric NASCAR stock car for pit crew practice.
This is the result. It's a NASCAR stock car with an electric drivetrain built entirely to help pit crews practice. JGR toldbuilt it out of necessity, but it comes with some unique benefits. Most notably, it is silent and much more affordable to run.
"[It's] used for pit stop practice only," said JGR athletic director Matt Osborn."It was much cheaper to build than a 'real' NASCAR Gen7 car for a pit practice car . We are hoping it will also be much more durable and therefore cheaper to maintain in the long run as well. And… last but not least- it’s 'greener' of course!"
Additionally, the EV's quietness should allow the team to control its practice environment even more, with no engine noise to keep them from communicating and hearing mistakes as they happen. Though this EV is just a dedicated pit-stop practice car, it could also be a look into NASCAR's future. This car doesn't seem to have any direct connection to the organization's hopes to race electric cars in coming years, but
that the series may run a standalone electric racing program in the near future. Seeing a stock car slow down to a stop without any V-8 rumble may be strange now, but it may become a common sight soon enough.
