Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dr. Olvey's original 'crash truck' was a repurposed bread van with medical supplies bolted to shelves. The IndyCar series initially laughed at him.
This doc directly influenced NASCAR to finally mandate full-face helmets in 2001 — twenty years after Olvey's team proved they saved lives. Bureaucracy moves slow, bodies move fast.
