Roush Racing's Former NASCAR Shop History Tour: Mark Martin & Jeff Burton's Glory Days Built Here!

What happens here

Rambo proudly displays his original toolbox, personalized with engraved wrenches bearing names like 'Robert Yates' and 'Roush 99.' He explains his practice of engraving all his tools with his name and date acquired. He highlights specific tools used by the pit crew, such as a welded-on socket for torque wrenches to prevent dropping, and long extensions for reaching sway bars. He also touches on the intense pit stop practice they held outside the building and shares a humorous story about Buddy Parrott's quick wit.

Goal: Showcase personalized tools and recount pit stop training.
