NASCAR creates traveling safety team for 2017 (The Associated Press)

NASCAR will have a traveling safety crew starting this season, creating a consistent medical staff that drivers have been pushing for the last several years. The safety crew will come from American Medical Response and ensure that a physician and paramedics are in the safety vehicle at all Monster Energy Cup events. AMR will also provide a small group that will travel to each race, and a physician who will serve as NASCAR's primary doctor.
