Despite not winning the Daytona 500, the No. 43 team has another reason to celebrate. The pit crew of the No. 43 Dodge has been declared the first ever winner of the Tissot Pit Road Precision Award.

The award is given to the Sprint Cup team that spends the least amount of time on pit road and finishes on the lead lap. With the introduction of the award, the most overlooked people of the sport will be rewarded for their performance.

$5,000 will be rewarded to the winning pit crew of each race. Also, the official watch and timekeeper of NASCAR will give out a bonus prize of $100,000 at the conclusion of the season to the crew who recieves the most individual pit road awards.

With a crew consisting of Bryan Jacobson (front tire changer), Brett Morrell (front-tire carrier), Ed Watkins (jackman), Tony Lunders (rear-tire changer), Joel Coronel (rear-tire carrier), Chris Moore (gas man), Jeff Seaburg (catch can), Mike Shiplett (crew chief) and Brett Cumming (pit crew coach), driver Reed Sorenson applauds his crew for their outstanding performance.

"Our McDonald's pit crew was just awesome in the Daytona 500," exclaimed Sorenson. "They gave us great stops all night long and put us in position to compete in the top-five at the end of the race. It was a great first outing for us as a team and I know they are happy to be recognized by Tissot for the precision of their work."
