Dear Race Fans,
As temperatures this weekend could be warm, please take note of these preventative measures. The best defense against heat related illness is prevention. As you prepare to attend the Brickyard 400 consider the following:
Please remember that individuals at both extremes of age (very young and very old) are at much greater risk for developing heat related illness. Use the “buddy system” and check frequently on your friends and family members and make sure they are doing everything they can to keep themselves hydrated. Remember, never leave anyone in a parked closed vehicle.
If you take these simple precautions, you can help make the weekend enjoyable and safe for yourself and your family and friends.
Sincerely,
Geoffrey L. Billows, MD
