The NASCAR rulebook spells it out: "If a vehicle sustains damage from
an accident or contact of any kind and must go behind the pit wall or
to the garage area, whether under its own power or not, the driver
must immediately proceed to the Infield Care Center by either
ambulance or other vehicle as directed by the safety personnel or a
NASCAR Official."


The care centers at NASCAR tracks are largely staffed by local
emergency physicians, nurses and specialists and are often affiliated
with a nearby hospital.

"NASCAR has one of the strictest qualifications, which we've held up
for years now, in who is qualified to see anybody under the NASCAR
umbrella in terms of the initial contact," said Ryan Stanton, medical
director of the AMR NASCAR safety team. "Some of those care centers
will have access to X-ray capabilities. Most have some form of
ultrasound available, if not all of them."
