What are the teams in Nascar?

Question

Every time I hear something like "Team", i be wondering what team is which.

Answer 1

teams are the people who are funding the car and who work on the car... Junior's team consist of hendericks motorsports and his pit crew... they all help to run the car

Answer 2

Basically its just a owner who has drivers they consider those teams. like Joe Gibbs racing(JGR) have Denny hamlin, Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch i thnk im forgetting someone, but Hendrick motor sports have Dale Jr, Jimmy J, jeff gordan, kasey mears. but some owners have 1 or 2 cars not big super power teams, but being on a team has no advantage they are all out their to win the team aspect and advantes come in sharing information about race car set ups and stuff like that if one person wins the other team mates arent happy they are mad cuz they lost so its more of like a business aspect and considered a team like that kind of way

Answer 3

Yes, usually referring to different race teams.

Answer 4

Teams have 2 definitions in NASCAR.

1.  A race team is technically a car, driver and everyone who works on it.  So, Jeff Gordon's team is the 24 crew.

2.  When a car owner owns multiple cars, all of the cars are on the same "team" and are teammates.

Answer 5

Team as in the Owners or Teams as in driver teams?

Owners you have Hendrick Mtrsprts, RCR, Roush-Fenway, Penske, MWR, DEI, and some other teams

In these specific owner teams, there are drivers whose cars are owned by the owners of the group

For example Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Casey Mears, and Dale Jr. are all teammates

You really have to know a lot of NASCAR to keep up with teammates and when they mention them....

Answer 6

Teams in NASCAR are just like those in other sports, except that its cars rather than players.  For example, Hendrick Motorsports has Jeff Gordon, Jimmie

Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Casey Mears - 4 "players", as it were.

However, not all teams are equal.  There are one-car teams, two-car teams, and multi-car teams.

In short, when you hear "team", think "race shop" or "company".

Answer 7

teams are cars owned by a certain person, Like Hendrick Motorsports and DEI, teams can also be identified as a single car, like Dale Jr. is part of the #88 team, or Tony Eury Jr. is crew chief for the #88 team etc.
