High temperatures lead to driver dehydration in XFINITY Series race
Saturday’s NASCAR XFINITY Series Lilly Diabetes 250 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway saw high speeds and even higher temperatures.
Race winner Kyle Busch along with Ty Dillon and Elliott Sadler were taken to the infield care center post-race, where the drivers were all treated and released.
"It's a hot day," Sadler said, noting his air conditioning wasn't working for 80 percent of the race. "I got hot. With like 30 (laps) to go I was like, 'Man, this is a lot hotter than I've been in a race car in a long time.' I had to stick it out."
A few drivers even took to Twitter to comment on the heat.
