Teamwork - 6 Second Indy 500 Pit Crew

Watching the 99th running of the Indy 500 this past weekend, a friend sent me this fascinating motivational video. Amazing how nearly a dozen teammates rally together in just 6 seconds of insanity!

From a USA Today blog article on May 21, 2015, Greg Presto says this:

"When Tony Kanaan pulls into the pit during the Indy 500 this weekend, almost a dozen people will work together to change his tires, pump in almost 20 gallons of gas, adjust the car to improve his steering, and clean debris from the car’s radiators. And they do it all in 6 seconds."

In Greg Presto's words, "It’s mind-blowing stuff, so I asked Chris Simmons, chief engineer for Chip Ganassi Racing and a 14-year IndyCar veteran, to explain all the stuff that happens. It’s summarized in the video above."

For the past 15 years, as the Executive Producer for Opening Moments Media, I've licensed motivational videos like this one from organizations similar to USA Today. Motivational videos set the tone for discussions on teamwork, for meetings of all sizes. It's always best practice to have permission to show copyrighted material, even if it's posted on YouTube.
