The company took "multiple times" the sales it expected, so this year has recruited 16% more driver crews.
Beginning in 2002, all drivers, crew members and other participants in the Busch Series, Craftsman Truck Series and all Nascar Touring Series must be 18 or older to compete.

There have been no studies conducted to determine the proper Noise Reduction Rating for drivers, crew members and fans at Nascar events.
The noise also makes it more hazardous not only for fans, but also for drivers, crew members and everyone else who spends time at a racetrack during a Nascar event.
