Brian Corradi is one of those crew chiefs who can get the most out of any situation. During testing last weekend in Gainesville, Fla., he was busy getting the most out of his driver - Antron Brown. 

However, the task was not to get more performance out of Brown, as he understands Brown already drives at peak performance. It's Brown's spare time that Corradi wants to improve the bottom line. 

Brown spends a healthy amount of his time in the pits during the events mixing up the Matco Team's fuel for the day, and as Corradi sees it, this chore takes up more of the boss' time than it should. 

If the fuel is pre-mixed to the proper percentage, Corradi said Brown can tend to the more important things like spending time with sponsors and fans, and taking some time to relax in anticipation for upcoming runs. 

"We're just making it easy, so we don't have to have as many people in the pit area... trying to take some of that work out of it," Corradi said. "Antron's got other things to do. We don't need a nitro guy mixing nitro all day. So yeah, when we get to the races, we'll have a good plan. We'll just dump it in, and then anybody could fill it."

Not only does it free up Brown's time for other important stuff, it also frees up a crewman who would have had to perform the duties instead of Brown. 

"Last year, we had begun working Antron out of it," Corradi said. "We had one of the guys on the team working into the role." 

Corradi said the team has the fuel mixed at a percentage low enough that failing fuel check isn't a concern. 

Brown said he is okay with relinquishing the mixing duties. 

"I'm retired," Brown confirmed. "I got to step up the program on some other entities. Well, the thing about it is that it takes a long time to get everything right and get it right, and then think about this. The simpler you can make it, the fewer mistakes you make. We're going to focus on some other things, and we're going just to make this a little bit simpler."
