Watch the quick exchange from tire carrier @rpatton22 here.
He positions his left hand so the tire grab and indexing are all one smooth motion that doesn't require repositioning before placing the tire on the car.

With his spot in the Championship 4 now assured, William Byron has a chance to become the first driver to win both the Daytona 500 and the Cup championship in the same season since Jimmie Johnson in 2013.
It'd be the fourth time a Hendrick Motorsports driver has achieved that feat, having done so with Johnson twice (2006, 2013) and Jeff Gordon in 1997.
Superman gets his win.
@JimmieJohnson’s victory at Auto Club Speedway in 2016 was the 77th of his career, which broke a tie with Dale Earnhardt on the all-time list.
Incredible execution from the No. 24 pit crew.
Watch @rpatton22 carry 2 tires, hang the right rear, make an adjustment and still make it back to the left front to hang that tire right on time.
We also get a great view of the Hendrick-style single hand jack swing from Spencer.
Pit stops are a crucial part of the strategy! 🔧🏁 LU24 tire carrier Ryan Patton breaks down the importance of how fast stops can make all the difference during a race.🏆 @WilliamByron@Hendrick24Team
Well rounded pit crew members do more than just go over the wall during races. @rpatton22 explains the dynamics of a pit stop to a group of sponsor guests before getting geared up for the race.
Precision meets performance in the pit. HP Z workstations fuel the data, simulations, and split-second decisions behind every @TeamHendrick pit stop, optimizing speed when it matters most.
The No. 24 of Byron pits and crew does a tire change and adjustment for running in traffic. @rpatton22 holds @WilliamByron until the car is packed with fuel which should put them on good strategy for the finish.
