The ‘Tricky Triangle’ is known for having some unusual weather, and drivers and their crews are always prepared for what Mother Nature has to bring.
“We’ve been in all kinds of weather. Don't get me started about the weather at the track!,” Brehanna Daniels told AccuWeather. Daniels is a tire changer and is NASCAR’s first African American pit crew member.
Although rain is one of the biggest weather factors, Daniels said that there’s another element that really makes the job challenging.
"The heat! The worst?!," she told AccuWeather National Reporter Dexter Henry, adding, "it gets real hot out there to the point where if you're not drinking enough water out there, you are going to get dehydrated.".
