2022 article
"One thing that everybody needs to know is the ambulance doesn't have
to be there for a doctor to be on the scene. There's doctors in each
of our chase vehicles, and we try to dispatch those as quickly as
obviously as we can to the scene of the accident,"
"Generally, NASCAR has been able to speak of an outstanding track
record on safety over the past 20 years. However, the sanctioning body
only began to employ a traveling safety team at the start of 2017,
well after other racing series like IndyCar and Formula 1 established
their own traveling safety teams. The 2022 season has also seen lapses
on NASCAR's part in regards to accident response and driver safety."
"On the final lap of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at World
Wide Technology Raceway, Carson Hocevar was injured when he spun in
front of traffic and took a direct hit to the driver's side from the
oncoming truck of Tyler Hill. Although Hocevar was able to put his
window net down -- the universal sign to a safety team that the driver
is alert -- Hocevar suffered an ankle injury and spent several moments
in pain on his team radio before the safety team addressed him."
