During the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, Bubba Wallace's 23XI Racing Toyota pit crew achieved a new pit stop record by changing four tires in 7.86 seconds. This time surpassed the previous record of 7.98, set by Christopher Bell's No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota crew at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March. The record-breaking pit stop crew for Wallace included Austin Dickey (front tire changer), Adam Hartman (rear tire changer), Joe Crossen (tire carrier), Nathan Ricketts (jackman), and Joshua Pech (fueler).
Wallace secured an eighth-place finish in the race, advancing four positions under yellow-flag conditions. Christopher Bell won the race, edging out Ty Gibbs and Tyler Reddick. NASCAR pit stops have become increasingly faster in the Next Gen era, with the transition to single, central hub lug nuts in 2022 contributing to the rapid improvements.
