splash-and-dash
Auto racing term for a form of gas-and-go pit stop. Car is refuelled just enough to complete a race, but tires are not changed. Normally occurs under green flag conditions and when limiting time in the pits is deemed more important than fresh rubber.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr., does not have a enough Sunoco fuel to make it to the end of the race. He will be coming in for a splash-and-dash with five laps remaining, says crew chief Lance McGrew.
