JaMarcus King to train for Joe Gibbs Racing pit crew

[kingofnerf]

JaMarcus King is glad to be part of a team again. The former South Carolina starting cornerback's football days are over, but he was recently recruited by Joe Gibbs Racing to be trained as a member of a NASCAR pit crew.

"It's been a great experience," said King who has been on the job now for nearly three weeks, initially as a jack man and now a tire changer. "It's a lot different than what I am used to. I'm just taking it all in. I'm helping the guys who are on cars right now. When they're out there at practice, we're out there watching what they do and then we have our own practice for everybody that's new.

"Once I get more experience, I can be assigned to a certain car."

I guess it helps to be quick when changing tires in a pit crew.
