“I actually wanted to work for INDYCAR before I was even a firefighter, so it was really great how everything has come together,” Ryan Eagle said.
Tim Baughman, INDYCAR’s manager of track safety and AMR INDYCAR Safety Team leader, said that in addition to finding future first responders these interactions can help team members relate their own experiences from their own firehouses with their fellow first responders.
Baughman: “It really makes our team better because we get to meet people like us at races.”
Still, balancing life as a firefighter is difficult enough without having to travel to races for up to four days away from home.
