DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) announced Tuesday additional seat belt restraint system safety requirements for the NASCAR Winston Cup Series that becomes effective Thursday, March 7.
In addition to each vehicle already being equipped with a NASCAR-approved seat belt restraint system and installed in accordance with the directions provided by system manufacturers, the new mandates provide a supplement to the installation requirements for stock cars.
“These new requirements are a direct result of the occupant restraint study announced last August to research the hardware, webbing and mounting of seat belt systems,” NASCAR President Mike Helton said.
