NASCAR's COTA Problem Gets Highlighted

March 3, 2026 | Edition #625 |
Hey, NASCAR Fans!
Competing at COTA presents a unique physical challenge, particularly with the extended road course layout and the heat that often accompanies race weekend in Texas. While drivers rely on cooling systems to manage conditions inside the car, the demands can still be significant.
AJ Allmendinger required medical attention following the race and was transported to the infield care center for evaluation. This situation has prompted discussion around driver comfort and the effectiveness of in-car cooling measures.

Kyle Larson and Alex Bowman also had to deal with heating issues at COTA.
