He has the stall farthest from the inspectors. Also, I checked the standings. They watch as each car is pushed by three crewmen to the gas pumps and then to the Tech Entrance, which is the stall next to Gordon's. The entrance is marked by plastic ropes, ropes on which plastic flags hang, that are attached to garbage cans. It looks like the entrance to a Ma and Pa car wash.
Inspectors test the carburetor and the compression.
They use a template, a stick and a scale to ensure that the car is the right shape, right weight and right height. From there, the car is wheeled to its starting position, where inspectors wait to ensure there is no tampering. If there is tampering, it will occur in the pits. I move from Gordon's pit to Mark Martin's. Martin, who won Sunday's race, is Gordon's only challenger in the points race.
