One needs to be cautious and well prepared to be in situations where it is too hot or there isn’t much fresh air to breathe. Keeping the body hydrated is the best solution to it. The Hendrick Motorsports star said, “I don’t necessarily think you have to be a super athlete to be a NASCAR driver or to be a racer driver in general. But to me, the biggest piece of the puzzle is just the environment that you are working in.”
