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
Racing is the sport. The rest are games.
Nascar is not a sport you clown 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Yup! I drive at a very small track and it gets up to 120° F in the car!
@@bulldogbre5233 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 😅
1 of many reasons
These races really do put a lot of wear and tear on the drivers.
Formula 1 would like a word with you
@@nev12345678910 please don't start a argument with formula 1 and nascar, please.
@@nev12345678910Yeah, F1 doesn’t do shit. Those cars could drive themselves.
I remember a Bristol night race, Earnhardt got the car to victory lane but had to indicate to a crew member to reach in and flip the ignition off...he was wasted...
The Kasey Kahne one in retrospect was very scary; Because it had been a constant thing for him for a long while.
We're lucky 2019 Darlington wasn't catastrophic.
It's pretty much what ended his NASCAR career. Apparently his body heats up faster than normal.
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.
@@crystaljon My grandfather had something similar, he called it "prickly heat" back in the day, had trouble with heat until the day he died. Sometimes with you have too severe of heat stroke, it becomes a reoccurring issue.
💯
@@crystaljon same issue seems to happen to AJ often too
This vid is legit proof that NASCAR drivers ARE Athletes
Heat exhaustion is never fun, I find it quiet scary myself…. Gotta be careful any where, especially at sporting events!
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.
I mean, aren't most endurance athletes, generally skinny folks?
Have you ever seen a fat marathon winner?
@@codymoe4986Because the weight probably slows you down.
^ 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… 😬
This is why it infuriates me when people say NASCAR drivers are not athletes...
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.
Yeah if you don't expect it and believe you where in a dangerous spot maybe. These guys know exactly what's caused it
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
@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
@@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
@@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.
Jamie- He’s not okay 😂
Her comedic timing is superb lmao
Well, he wasn’t.
The bowyer thumbnail was not due to heat exhaustion, he drove a road course with no power steering.
Auto Club Speedway😢 it's my hometrack I live about 20 minutes away from the track
0:31
That one guy who's in a interview but is too tired to stand up
shows up late, doesn't bother to get up
@@ZaphodTHEBeeblebrox lol
Reckon he's laying on a cool mat or something. He said he was getting blisters on his back during the last handful of laps.
Sh!t, you could do a whole version with Gragson, lol.
We need a video comp of all the times Noah's thrown up 😂
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
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...
@@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.
@@griffinfaulkner3514 haha it did my man, it did!
One year Tony Stewart did the Indy 500 then flew to Charlotte for the race there and I believe they took him off on a stretcher after the race because of exhaustion
"This makes us all realize the kind of pressure these drivers are under" 💀
There was no more badass driver than Ricky Rudd
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 feel like this is something a lot of people don’t think about. They’re essentially driving high speed ovens.
“Drivers aren’t athletes”
Maybe NASCAR needs to take a summer break during the really hot weeks. America is known for having gnarly heat waves.
Heat stroke is a huge possibility these guys have to endure, maybe someday Nascar cars will have much better cooling, even after having damage.
The cars are actually hotter now because they seal them off more.
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.
Race Car Drivers are the most athletic athletes in sports
Whoever says that NASCAR isn't a Sport hasn't even watched NASCAR.
I agree with Ian and BGFGF
@@briangriffinfamilyguyfan81 wasn’t taking about NASCAR only
😂😂
^This
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!
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 was at the Martinsville race Ricky Rudd won
Shouldve just posted the whole post race after the 2020 Atlanta summer race lol
Why going to Atlanta in July is not overly bright.
@@ethanweeter2732 but that race was brutal a bunch of drivers were fatiqued laying by their racecars
Heat exhaustion is never fun!
Yea i had it before you start losing sense of whats happening and if you go into heat stroke you can easily die
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.
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.
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.
First
This is why I want to put some of my friends who shit on nascar in that seat for 5 hours
KKB back wit the W uploads
Wish you had the video after Bobby Hamilton won dega in 01. He was exhausted
“I’m too damn tired to talk.”
Honorable mention , Newman’s last win at Phoenix
You forgot Alex bowman 2019 roval incident where bowyer came and dumped water in his face, other than that fantastic idea learned alot
That wasn't Bowyer, it was Bubba Smollett.
@@falloutboy9424 oh yeh, thx
Had this happen to me during a golf tourney in Texas. Let me tell you, its a very scary feeling. I can only imagine how bad these drivers have much much worse.
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.
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
3:57 bro was not okay
1:53 I didn't know Daniil Kvyat did a nascar race lol
Nascars are hot as fuck. F1 cars try to break your neck.
do current gen NASCAR have air conditioner in them?
No, cool box for helmet and you can wear a cool suit.
This is why drivers are on a completely different level then other sports.death and serious injuries can happen on any lap.
Talladega Die Hard 500 late July in Alabama.Enough said
Don’t know if you made a video about double duty but it would be cool. Call it double duty success it would be awesome!
Do he reply
Heat and dehydration are a bad combination. The drivers need hydration packs so they can drink whenever they need to.
They have cool boxes for the helmets and cool suits now, plus water bottle drinking systems if they want them.
get away from that hot ass car
The spring Dover race June 95 in o think 90-9/ when Kyle Petty (still my favorite driver, he had to be helped out ans dud the interview sitting then laying down
First
Anybody that thinks driving a NASCAR race car/truck is easy, OBVIOUSLY they've never done it, especially in mid-summer
Jimmie Johnson having issues really shows how tough this sport is. Jimmie in his spare time runs triathlons with no problems.
Those cars have no ac and the a lot of these places where they race have warm temperatures
I feal bad for all of then
Over 180+ mph for over 200 to 500 laps will absolutely fck you up.
I only going to rememeber this is aj allmendinger when he gets exhausted
Hmm… they should have an indoor swimming pool that they can jump in to cool off.
an i always got made fun of in school for liking nascar. was told its just turning left and it doesnt take any effort.. how dumb... it takes everything you have and more to do this sport.
It's decieving. You focus on driving and it's hard to tell when you're about to pass out. Had a situation like that in a 24 hours of lemons race. I'm by no means an athlete, but when you're racing and your vision starts to go, losing peripheral vision, it's kind of scary.
Heat exhaustion will kill you
Yeah lesson learned drink lots of water before you go outside in 90 degrees heat and if you live in Arizona or Texas 100 degrees heat.
Nascar drivers are badasses
Can u make a best moments with Steve Burns
The troll comments "This just shows how amazing these athletes are with a high IQ" are killing me lmao
I hate that only ones that are on the podium in F1 get an ACed cooldown room, every racer needs to relax in a cool down room no matter the discipline of race.
Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there. 👍 😀
Thanks! You too!
"And guess what, tomorrows race, twice as long.. hahahahaha"
Despite her tiny size, Danica Patrick never had that problem.
She probably did IVs before each race or wore cool suits maybe.
Why don’t they just turn on the A/C?
During the summer, drivers are facing dangerous conditions inside and outside the car. Their bodies absorb alot of punishment from the heat.
The cars are about 120 to 130 degrees fahrenheit on a normal sumer day not including the gear
I’ve been in that situation and it’s not fun.
Suggestion: not sure if you’ve done one already but top 10 best off track fights/brawls
Im sure it'll be here eventually haven't finished the video yet but the most heat exhaustion thing I've seen was the year Stewert raced both the Indy 500 and Memorial Day weekend race at Charlotte on the same day and he couldn't even get out of his car and needed help to get up and out

Clint Bowyer Is Awesome
I was doing some Crappie Floppin Lol 😂
excellent video's
That’s how you spell crappie 😂
Bowyer look rough.
This seems completely insane. How the fuck does this continue to happen and there isn’t a rule out in place to stop these drivers from harming themselves in the name of whoever sponsors their car?
Those drivers couldn't give a shit less about their sponsor. The sponsor is only a means to an end. They're there to race, and they'll push themselves however hard they think they can get away with in order to win.
I wonder what the heat difference is between an open cockpit car and a full body stock car
Probably 40 degrees or so. Not near the heat because the open cockpit allows air to hit you.
AWEE,,,,LOL!
This is just terrifying
Do nascar drivers use cool suites?
A lot of them do, yeah
Ricky Rudd Is Awesome
This is a tough sport
I get this real kick outta watching drivers in pain
first!
Nope lol
I am
Thanks To Tide For Sponsoring Ricky Ridd
Alex Bowman 2019 Roval?
Bubba Wallace cooled him off, just kidding yeah there was a few I missed. Might make a part 2
Wearing masks outdoors was the most ridiculous thing ever . What a stupid time
bro is out of ideas💀
I'd recommend changing the title of the video. I thought it was about the NASCAR Heat video game series for a few moments
