It is general knowledge that driving racing vehicles at speeds above 180 mph is unsafe. Every race has at least one accident, and the racers get into their cars knowing that their next collision might be the one that kills them. The concealed risks within the vehicles, on the other hand, could be the ones to put an end to their professions.
Brad Keselowski has been one of the people who were exposed to a disguised threat. Broken, crushed panels on his Cup vehicle subjected him to toxic gases at Talladega in April. When he got out of the car between the Cup and Nationwide races, it was revealed that his carbon monoxide concentrations were dangerously close to the NASCAR limit.
Between races, Keselowski had intensive therapy in the in-field medical facility to lower his blood pressure. Despite his prior sickness, he got it into his Nationwide vehicle just moments before the engine began and proceeded to win the event.
The fumes emitted by automobiles can be particularly hazardous to drivers. We have the best quality ventilation systems in a standard automobile to keep us safe. For the 4 to 6 hours they spend in the car throughout a race, racers can only do so much to prevent the fumes at bay. If they really want to risk losing the chance to win, they can’t even pull over and air out the vehicle or adjust something to enable the driver to breathe.
Blood clots are another risk. The clot can develop and spread throughout the body if you sit for long periods of time with no exercise.
In a race automobile, the driver spends a significant amount of time. During a weekend, they can compete in all three series while still going through practice sessions. They can spend days testing in automobiles during the week. When they’re not in a car, they’re flying to events or races, which might induce blood clots if they’re travelling long distances without stopping.
Racing always has been a risky sport in which anything may go wrong at any time and without notice. Race vehicles have vastly improved in recent years, and drivers are far safer in the event of an accident.
Even when flipping over or sliding up and down, drivers only sustain minor injuries. The concealed threats, on the other hand, may lose their grip on drivers without their knowledge.
Extreme bodily damage, including limb amputations and eyes, is a risk in auto racing. Even less severe injuries can result in a long time of inability to function and persistent discomfort, maybe for the rest of one’s life. As terrible as these accidents are for the driver, their consequences are amplified when assessing the importance of the driver’s family’s wellbeing.
The races are very loud, far louder than any rock concerts. Despite the fact that the majority of drivers and personnel use earplugs, long-term exposure poses a substantial health risk.
