NASCAR Safety

Why are NASCAR safety people working with NASA, the space agency?

For advancements in NASCAR safety and technology, NASCAR got together with NASA to see what they could learn about improving NASCAR driver safety and comfort.

Here is a little bit of what they discovered and why this NASCAR safety change was needed.

Chances are that you have never heard this about NASCAR safety.

If you were a NASCAR driver and you wanted to eliminate your nausea, dizziness and headaches from your life during a NASCAR race, how would you do it?

Here is a little known NASCAR safety fact that I would like to share with you.

Carbon monoxide from NASCAR exhaust can make drivers sick, dizzy and even kill them.

How can NASCAR Safety experts and NASA team up to solve this problem?

Do You Know This?

Most NASCAR fans never give this a second thought, but, one of the major NASCAR safety issues drivers have to deal with is carbon monoxide.

If you remember from your high school chemistry days---yeah right---one of the ways carbon monoxide is produced is by burning gasoline.

This has been a NASCAR safety problem for years.

To solve this problem, NASCAR safety experts turned to NASA (The Space Agency) for help.

And I bet you thought all those NASA space engineers did was play around with spacecraft.

No scientific talk here----just plain English.

You don't want to listen to an engineer with a PhD try to explain to you how NASA helped solve the NASCAR safety issue of carbon monoxide making car drivers feel sick and dizzy.

All you want is a "simple and easy" view of how this problem got solved.

Right?

Well, here it is.

This NASCAR safety problem was solved when NASA created a special catalytic air-filter for use in space. NASCAR safety experts found a way to use this for NASCAR.

What it does for NASCAR is, it eliminates 99% of the dirty air particles and carbon monoxide. After the air passes through the filter fresh, clean air is cooled and pumped into the NASCAR driver's helmet.

That was pretty simple wasn't it?

You've seen that hose attached to NASCAR driver's helmets haven't you?

The fact is, now you'll be able to tell all your "less informed" NASCAR buddies why that helmet hose is so important to the health and NASCAR safety of their favorite drivers.

Now that you and I have solved this NASCAR safety problem-----

Let's grab a "cold one" and enjoy the next NASCAR race.
