Before the 20-minute qualifying session at Laguna Seca, both of Corvette Racing's pit crews competed in the final round of the Klein Tools Pit Crew Challenge. Facing the formidable Dyson Racing team, Corvette Racing dominated the competition with a one-two finish. Led by crew chief Dan Binks, the No. 3 Corvette C6.R crew claimed the $20,000 first prize, and the No. 4 crew under Ray Gongla finished second.

The finale of the season-long pit stop competition pitted teams against the clock as the crews had to perform a driver change, a simulated 30-second fuel stop, and a four-tyre change. The No. 3 Corvette crew had the quickest time of the competition at 41.38 seconds in a preliminary round, and then won the final round with a time of 42.82 seconds.  The No.4 crew actually recorded a quicker time in the final but were penalised when the car overshot the line.

"What could be better than a one-two finish in the Klein Tools Pit Crew Challenge?" said team manager Gary Pratt. "We hoped that it would come down to a match between our two crews in the final. It doesn't make any difference which crew wins when we get a one-two finish. It was a great team effort; the crews practice together and they work together to develop the pit stop process. We think it makes a difference during a race."
