The momentum from a win at Darlington can vault a team to the title--even if it's a win in May--because it's a drivers track. That means it takes a patient wheelman--and a tire conservationist--to win. If a driver can find patience and success at Darlington, the mile-and-a-half tracks down the stretch--and, more important, in the Chase for the NASCAR Nextel Cup--will be easier to handle. This weekend, the team with the best pit stops that makes the most savvy adjustments will come out on top.
