Before an ambulance blocked pit road in Saturdays NASCAR race and stacked up unsuspecting cars, there wasnt much outside attention on medical transport at tracks. But following Saturdays incident several drivers say theres been a number of issues this yearincluding, bizarrely, ambulances getting lost on the way to infield medical centers. The ambulance from Saturday at Richmond Raceway, which eventually brought up the wider discussion, nearly cost Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver Matt Kenseth a spot in the newly named playoffs. With the field coming down pit road under caution and not expecting a vehicle to be blocking it, drivers got bottled up and contact busted Kenseths radiator. The damage ended Kenseths race, leaving him to watch and see if he got knocked out of a playoff spot. NASCAR later confirmed that the ambulance driver didnt listen to directions over the radio, and that officials probably should have closed pit road to prevent things from going the way they did. At least Kenseths ambulance issues didnt severely impact the playoff grid, or else we could have seen a repeat of the playoffs grid in 2. You dont want to see a repeat of 2. But NASCARs ambulance issues didnt end when the playoff grid played out favorably, since ESPN reports that drivers like Kevin Harvick and, of course, Kenseth had more to say about their not great performance all season. From ESPN Everybody is doing a great job when they get to the cars, but we still have some issues of getting the ambulances and things from several drivers to the infield care center without getting lost, Harvick said Wednesday during the NASCAR playoffs media day. And thats been an issue for not only myself, twice, but several other drivers as theyve had their trips to the infield care center. USA Today reports that Harvick said for whatever reason this year, NASCARs ambulances have had an issue as far as getting to the accident, getting back, and getting lost going to the infield care center. Cup Series championship leader Martin Truex Jr. USA Today that the speed of doing so needs to be addressed. NASCAR drivers are required to go to the care center when a car cant drive under its own power after a wreck, so most of the time, an ambulance getting lost is just an inconvenience to an unhurt driver following protocol. Harvick added that he knows NASCAR is continuously working to improve response times to hard impacts in case someone is hurt, which is the most important thing, but that the ambulances need to know where theyre going afterward. Kenseth backed up what Harvick said, and brought up a good point Wasting time because the ambulance cant find the medical centerwhen its job is to do just thatwould really suck if a driver had actual injuries. He also said hes had issues on two ambulance rides this year, he said. From ESPN At the spring Richmond race, I was driving around the infield for about five minutes with him and he was lost and couldnt find the care center, Kenseth said. So thankfully, I wasnt bleeding to death. The other one was after California or something like that, he drove so recklessly, it threw me right off the bench and I almost hit my head in the ambulance. It is completely absurd to think about getting in an ambulance, unhurt, only to leave with a headache because you banged your head as a result of the driving. NASCAR responded to the situation from Richmond and the drivers other comments, saying the following via ESPN The follow up discussions that centered around the ambulance issue at Richmond went well beyond where it parked and the procedure that led us to that point, NASCAR said in a statement. Before an ambulance blocked pit road in Saturdays NASCAR race and stacked up unsuspecting cars, there wasnt much outside attention on medical transport at tracks. Much of MSR Houstons facilities appear to be on slightly higher ground compared to the farmland around it, which helped somewhat. The latest update from the track. It was all encompassing, and well continue to work with the tracks and safety teams to improve in every aspect of support. Safety is paramount, and its something we work hard at all year long, from the season opening summit to intensive weekly reviews of every incident response to continual training for crews. We hold ourselves to a very high standard of excellence. ESPN reports that Harvick said he feels like NASCAR is taking the issue seriously, and that NASCAR acknowledged it was trying to fix things. Fellow Cup Series driver Brad Keselowski didnt have much concern about the ambulances, saying he thinks the important thing is to just make the race car right so you dont have to worry about that.
