“We look at each situation and try to improve,” NASCAR VP Scott Miller dissertates the safety team’s delayed response to recent crashes

NASCAR has introduced its new racing machine, the 7^th generation ‘Next-Gen’ car this year and it has seen quite a few horrendous crashes in the wake of the recent relaxed approach of the NASCAR Safety team to the crashes, NASCAR Vice President Scott Miller has come up to speak about it after the level of the collisions that occurred this year were pretty intense and the safety of the Next-Gen cars is immaculate with only two incidents occurring so far which resulted in the driver to sustain injuries.

Some of the crashes that were pretty wild this season included multiple cars involved in pile-ups given that the sport is all about high-speed pack racing with an immense amount of drafting making it near impossible for a pile-up to not occur but the crashes that stood out were the Ross Chastain-Kyle Busch-Chase Elliott crash in the All-Star Race at Texas and then the infamous crash of Chris Buescher landing on his roof at Charlotte and Carson Hocevar suffering a broken ankle after colliding at Gateway and lastly Spencer Boyd sustaining a dislocated shoulder at the Camping World Truck Series race in Las Vegas.

“We always try to put our best foot forward,” NASCAR VP Scott Miller says as hopes to reduce response time to crashes

NASCAR’s Vice President Scott Miller has recently answered to the late arrival of safety teams to aid the drivers who have collided and he said that there are doctors on every chase vehicle and that ambulances are not required at all times and that safety vehicles are on the go as soon as there is some altercation on the track and with the race, still ongoing with high-speed cars, taking one of their own up there could end up more fatal than it already is and thus the delay but they don’t compromise the safety of those involved.

“One thing that everybody needs to know is the ambulance doesn’t have to be there for a doctor to be on the scene. There are doctors in each of our chase vehicles, and we try to dispatch those as quickly as obviously as we can to the scene of the accident, there is traffic out there still, and we don’t want to compound the situation by forcing one of our vehicles up into race traffic that’s slowing down,” said Scott Miller.

Scott Miller further added by saying that they try to learn from every incident that has occurred by far and they are always aware of the position of the safety teams and they keep checking over and he concluded by saying that to make sure that they are doing to improve on their part and they always tend to do the best they can.

“We look at each situation and try to improve. We always look at where our stuff, where our equipment is located, and we’ll do it again… That’s one thing we certainly do at NASCAR every time is try to learn from every weekend, whether it’s good or something that we need to improve upon. So, we always try to put our best foot forward,” concluded Scott Miller.

Will Scott Miller’s assurance on improvement be reflected on the track by the safety team next time in the case of an incident?
