NASCAR Drivers Council happy with safety team

Joey Logano

After lobbying multiple times for the addition of a traveling safety team, a NASCAR Drivers Council member was pleased to see its arrival Wednesday in the Cup Series. "(The safety team) is something that the council has brought up quite a few times, and it's a struggle to figure out how to do that with insurance and legally," Joey Logano said Wednesday in an interview with NBC Sports.

"It's a little over my head. "But why can't we have someone who is on site when get there? What are we waiting on? You're not the only person to ask that question. Believe me, I think every driver has asked this question at some point in their careers. Why don't we have a physician that we know? … When I got the call they were announcing it, I was like, 'Hell, yeah!' It's super." NBC Sports
