Some of you may not want to hear this, but when I won an opportunity to take ten laps in a Winston Cup car at Fontana, they instructed us when bringing the car into the pits in the final approach in the pit lane (probably still doing about 50 to 60 mph), to kick the car into neutral and stop with the brakes. So it's done at Nascar (when appropriate) where control of the car is paramount.
I can vouch for this, hell I even had to kill the engine before we even hit the pit lane!
