The requirements being that you "Play" for 3-4 hours without any timeouts while risking your life every second and using every muscle in your body while making split second decisions. That's just the driver. The crews on the other hand have it a little easier. They only have to work as a team to change 4 tires and add a tank of fuel in 13 - 14 seconds. The Crew chief only has to have a degree in engineering, meteorology, psychology, and physics. When you add it all up, these are the most intelligent and athletic people in sports! Don;t think so, try it!
