They are normally allowed 5 MPH over the pit lane speed limit. But to many crews and drivers push it to the brink. If the speed limit is 50 MPH and you don't exceed 55 you are ok. But all it takes is a tach being off by 100 RPM and you will get that 55.002 speeding ticket. I know getting in and off is important, but I think I would set my tach and indicator about 100 RPM below the maximum to give myself a little margin for error. Maybe like some of the formula cars do, have a rev limiter that holds them under the pit speed. Does NASCAR have any rule forbidding something like that?
