TTL News 318 Posted April 30 Quote NASCAR and Watkins Glen International have made changes to the curbing in the bus stop area of the race track in the interest of driver safety. Last season, Kyle Larson and several other NASCAR Cup Series drivers volunteered to wear data-gathering mouthpieces, which showed sobering data in that particular area of the race course. Larson shared the data read-out from his mouthpiece on Thursday. NASCAR confirmed to TobyChristie.com that the change to the curbing in the bus stop at Watkins Glen was necessitated by the mouthpiece data from Larson and others that utilized the device last season. “Yes, the mouthpiece data from Larson (and all those who wore it) necessitated this move,” a representative said. “We saw that an abnormally large number of ‘incidents’ were triggered in this area. Credit to NASCAR safety team and the drivers who participated in this mouthpiece program. It was an initiative started to continue improving on safety, and this is one of the results.” Read the rest here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
