A few weeks ago I was listening to his radio as usual during the race and he mentioned to Eury Jr that his firesuit was tighter than normal and it was making him hotter than usual. They opined that it may have been dry cleaned too much and that new ones were on order.
He said, if they are dry cleaned too much, they lose the ability to be as fireproof as they should be.
Did you notice if he had on his Bud firesuit?
I don't think he had on his regular racin' duds...his helmet looked to be bluish-greenish swirly colors...most likely the team colors for the Corvette Team he was with...
