Pit Crews of the Year

Jason Palmer’s team won Pit Crew of the Year 6 times between the Legend Car and Late Model divisions

The Pit Crew of the Year Award was first given out in 1995 during eventual track owner Terry Eames took over as GM of the Speedbowl. It was given out every year at the annual awards banquet to a team from each of the Saturday point divisions. In 2013, the Speedbowl began awarding the honor to the Wild N’ Wacky Wednesday competitors as well. The track was closed in 2019, and the award has not been revived since.
