INDIANAPOLIS — Safety was the focus this weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Sunday was the second day of safety training for first responders at the track.
Nearly 200 people from eight states participated.
For the first time ever, IMS put together a comprehensive training for IndyCar, NASCAR and IMSA crews. Organizers said it was a lot to set up but important for the month of May.
"It's quite the undertaking," said Tim Baughman, IndyCar Series' senior director of track safety and medical. "And to pull it off this close to May, it's going to be very fresh in everybody's mind and hopefully help us have a very successful and safe month of May."
The plan is to hold similar training across the country at sites that host IndyCar, NASCAR and IMSA events.
