NASCAR’s Jim Hunter said NASCAR recently has added a “chase” vehicle to its emergency crew lineup. The vehicle is the first on the scene of an wreck with a NASCAR official at the wheel and an EMT in the passenger seat. “Our position on the medical end is well known,” Hunter said. “We prefer to use local EMTs who do that every day as a line of work. We always felt having a local group who does it every day is better than having somebody travel who does it so many weekends a year.”( Daytona Beach News Journal )(5-7-2003)
