NASCAR to use COVID-detecting dogs at Atlanta Motor Speedway races
Fox News
NASCAR will be testing COVID-19 detecting dogs during the upcoming Atlanta Motor Speedway race weekend. The canines were trained by 360 K9 Group to be able to sniff out the virus within 30 seconds.
A limited number of fans will be in attendance under social distancing guidelines, but not subject to the screening. "We think that these dogs and this capability is going to allow us to rapidly confirm that all of those people entering the essential footprint on Sunday — that’s race teams, that’s NASCAR officials, that’s the vendors that work inside the garage — all those folks are COVID-free or not," NASCAR managing director of racing operations Tom Bryant told NASCAR.com. "The ability to do that has kind of been the math problem that we have continuously tried to solve since March of last year."More Related News
