Nascar Heat Exhaustion Moments

This is why nascar is considered a sport. The things that being in the car does to these drivers and them being able to to persevere it all is amazing

[@bulldogbre52]

Yup! I drive at a very small track and it gets up to 120° F in the car!

[@kevinmingus3221]

@@bulldogbre52 the highest I remember seeing was I believe 135 or something close to that, unreal. I drove a late model race some years back that was only 94 laps and it was absolutely brutal with outside temps in the mid 90s with high humidity, I can only imagine 2-3+ hours in that...we had a red flag and the safety worker was handing out water and i drank half and dumped the rest on my face and suit...and probably one of the worst decisions I made that day was doing that, because then the bottom of the seat/cushion was waterlogged, and then started getting really hot. Ended up with 1st degree burns on my backside and down part of the back of my legs...oh and had a 2nd degree burn on my right heal and melted part of my race shoe. One race ill never forget that's for sure 😅

I'm so glad that NASCAR always has safety guys all around the tracks to immediately care for any drivers that need it, one of the best safety features in motorsports in my opinion, up there with the halo

[@peadookie]

Wouldn't it be safer to make sure that a driver doesn't pass out on track by working on cooling the driver? This doesn't happen in F1...

[@griffinfaulkner3514]

@@peadookie This aged poorly. Also, F1 cars have open cockpits, and as such don't suffer nearly as badly as closed cockpit cars. Indycar, for example, had to add a dedicated cooling scoop after they added the aeroscreen.

It's pretty much what ended his NASCAR career. Apparently his body heats up faster than normal.

[@boholde2757]

Been there…..I stumbled out of a car at the end of the race 2 or 3 times. Transported to medical and had the EMTs ice me down. (That felt sooo good) Covered in 3 layers of Nomex from head to toe. It can be unbearable while in the car, but when you stop, and the wind from moving is gone, It gets even hotter.

Heat exhaustion is scary man. I had golfed 9 holes with my dad and his friends. We weren't walking and it wasn't sunny but it was 85 and humid as could be. By the end I had downed 2 water bottles and a powerade and felt for the most part time. We got back to my grandparents house where I stayed outside to play with my cousins for a little while before I went inside because I was feeling exhausted. I started feeling nauseous 15 minutes after I got in. I drank water, ate supper, took tums, but didn't feel any better. We were planning on heading back home that night but didn't even make it out of town before I threw up, 3 hours after we had finished golfing. We turned around and stayed behind for another hour until I was feeling good enough to head back home. Even then, I didn't feel truly better until we had gotten home, about 2 hours later. Mad respect for what these guys do, I know I sure as hell couldn't.

I ran Track and Cross Country in high school and didn't get exhausted. I was known for endurance despite being dangerously thin at no more than 120 pounds. Today, at 6'0" tall I'm still 120 pounds, but I'm 32. When I was younger, I actually wanted to pursue racing after being done with go-karts, but I don't think I would last longer than even a truck race.

[@codymoe4986]

I mean, aren't most endurance athletes, generally skinny folks? Have you ever seen a fat marathon winner?

[@easyenetwork2023]

@@codymoe4986Because the weight probably slows you down.

[@samaraisnt]

^ no, it’s because you lose so much dang weight. You can’t run triathlons and simply keep 100 extra pounds, it’s burned and sweated off. You even lose muscle mass which sucks :/ but the sport is more designing the athlete rather than the other way around…tbh most skinny people wouldn’t be able to do it because you need endurance and i say that as a skinny person. I personally get heat exhaustion cause I can’t sweat, but even if I could sweat i can’t stand to lose extra lbs that’d be dangerous. That’s why people who finish marathons look like corpses they’re so emaciated… 😬

[@NASCARFAN93100]

This vid is legit proof that NASCAR drivers ARE Athletes

[@fordtruckman80]

I've had heat exhaustion twice and it sucks. It even fucks you up mentally. For years I couldn't even be outside without always having a water bottle with me. I hope Nascar and other motorsports teams are doing everything they can to help prevent this because it shouldn't be happening in this day and age with all the technology available.

[@n.w.owhoknowstheshadowknow58]

Yeah if you don't expect it and believe you where in a dangerous spot maybe. These guys know exactly what's caused it

[@calebjarrard3517]

Sadly the best solution they have are the crush panels and the firewall. Once that crush panels gone there’s not much the firewall can do. They’ve made great strides making the cars safer while driving, wrecking and rolling over but they definitely should improve on the general safety of the car. I agree with you, as technological and advanced as they’ve gotten, this shouldn’t be hard for them to fix

[@marshallpeters1437]

​@N.W.O Whoknowstheshadowknows sometimes it gets you before you realize it too. Like the last time it happened to me I caught it when I started feeling dizzy and I still couldn't cool off fast enough

[@n.w.owhoknowstheshadowknow58]

@@marshallpeters1437 I understand you don't feel it coming. I'm simply saying that in my personal opinion it's not going to have the same sort of lasting mental affect when you know exactly what caused it ECT compared to it suddenly catching you out one day. These guys got it easy today compared to years past without the carbon monoxide fumes, power steering, and cold drinks

[@NathanM4A1]

@@calebjarrard3517 V8 Supercars all have a cooler built into the passengers seat filled with dry ice. The cooler is connected to a vest worn under the fire suit that pumps cool water around the drivers torso. While Supercar races aren't as long as NASCAR, their longest race is six hours and drivers take shifts driving. While there is still the risk of the system not working, instances of heat exhaustion in Supercars are very rare.

[@nwvfd22]

Way to lead off with Ricky Rudd. Dude is a beast. Didn't miss a start in over 600+ races, even duct taping his eyes open after they were swollen shut after a crash. NASCAR's toughest iron man without a doubt.

I was listening to Larry Mac and Danielle Trotta on Sirius 90 today and they were saying that Brad K wore a bio thermal suit under his fire suit for the race at Vegas. They didn’t go into great detail about all the data gathered but Brad did mention his sustained Heart rate for the last 65 laps of the race (except caution laps) was near 200 BPM. That’s insane. Imagine his HR on a short track when it’s a hot day!

2013, 4th of July baseball game in DC between the Giants and Nationals. It was so hot and humid starting pitcher Tim Lincecum lasted 4 innings and had to get IV's in the club house. Heat exhaustion and stroke are very serious.

[@Moose6340]

I'm still trying to figure out why the EMT working on Ricky Rudd had a T-shirt on from my tiny hometown's volunteer rescue squad (Amherst Life Saving Crew, VA) when that's 2+ hours away from Martinsville. In any case, I watched that race live on TV and yeah, it was hot as hell all over Virginia that day. Well over 90 degrees with high humidity, his cool helmet iced up and failed, they were resorting to taking coin purses and makeup bags, stuffing them with ice from coolers, and shoving them down his firesuit on pit stops. They even tried squirting him with water on pit stops and the hose had been lying in the sun so it was hot and made everything worse. There's a reason that Ricky Rudd always had a rep as one of the toughest bastards in NASCAR and this showed it.

[@easyenetwork2023]

The worse thing you can do is put ice in a fire suit without something insulating the ice. The cool suits use fluid that is cooled and insulated properly.

A friend was in the first Persian gulf war. He said when it got hot everyone had a hydration buddy. You had to watch your buddy drink like liters of water then had to watch him pee it out to make sure their kidneys were functioning.

Heat stroke is a huge possibility these guys have to endure, maybe someday Nascar cars will have much better cooling, even after having damage.

I hope they upgraded the gear, theres no reason why they should be wearing those heavy fireproof suits and not have cooling. Theres options nowadays for cooling systems for drivers.

[@Speed_198mph]

Yea but the engines blow heat on you because they're cars dont have insulation so they can be lighter and also the gear makes the driver 20 to 30 degrees fahrenheit hotter and they do alot to keep the cars light During a normal summer the cars are around 120 to 130 degrees fahrenheit
