Picture this for a second. Imagine you're a kid who grew up in the Baltimore as a massive NASCAR fan. Your family always got all-access passes for the races at Dover International Speedway; you were brought up around cars; the whole sport is in your blood.
Now imagine that after nearly 30 years of living and breathing gears, you find yourself in your first race as a NASCAR crew chief. Your team has been having a good season, but you could really use a win to put yourself in position to compete for a championship.
As the race is winding down, you have an opportunity to pick up your first win -- in your first race as a crew chief. But your engineering background tells you your car is short on fuel. You and the former series champion driving the car are going to have to get creative in order to figure out a way to get to the finish line before the gas runs out.
