Christmas Abbott, 30, awakens to the morning light in her hotel room in Pensacola, FL. It is day 1 of her new career as a professional front tire changer in auto racing. From the time she gets up to the moment she’s changing in her first pit, she’s going through the motions in her mind. COREY LOWENSTEIN — clowenst@newsobserver.com
