@lakelandchief the drivers never take their helments off because the fans might throw stuff at them, look at jeff gordons wins at talladega where poeple throw stuff at him, thats why the drivers usually keeps their helments on.

4:08 wish that camera guy could've caught Sadler's crash. Great time to take a coffee break and miss it

@lakelandchief I'd have to guess in case a fire breaks out while you are trapped in the car, I'm not sure if thats the real reason but it would make sense

One of the many reasons i love Dale, ive seen him check on other people 2 or 3 times, ive never seen anyone else do it at all really
