"The G forces that drivers' face each time they go into and exit a turn is like having your head pulled from your body. Then you are in a car that has a cockpit temperature of 135 degrees. The floor board of the cars is so hot that without the new shoes drivers have, they would burn their feet. The heart rate of a driver goes from that of marathon runner to a sprinter throughout a race. Finally, a driver can lose anywhere from 10 to as much as 20 pounds during the course of a race because of hydration."

"Sports psychologist Dr. Jack Stark, wrote: "Football, you go hard for 15 seconds, rest 30 or 40." "Basketball, you have timeouts. You can't stop a race and get out of your car. You've been going hard for four hours and you have to have a tremendous amount of mental toughness and a tremendous amount of drive and desire to win.""


There's more reports from outside the sport. Google it.

@jasonhathaway Would you like me to show you a list of how many "good" Indy car drivers finished there careers without a single win?

 And remember, for every Nascar win, there are 42 "losers". She finished one spot behind Mark Martin Saturday night. 15 drivers finished behind her, including last years Champion. 7th at Daytona (36 drivers did worse), and a top 10 finish at Talladega is huge for anyone.

@jasonhathaway Wrong. She won the IRL race in Japan. She was looking at a top 10 at Talladega until she was caught up in the big one. She's routinely finishing in front of other more experienced drivers. She's got more potential than some drivers who routinely finish worse than she does, and they've been in Nascar years longer than she has.
