Cup RACE thread --- Atlanta

Or...or, they can give the driver a water bottle at the next pit

When humans are at the point Bubba was, consuming water is not quick enough to mitigate damage to the body. That is an immediate fluid IV situation.

Just give me water or Pedialyte at that point.

I enjoy a good soda every now and then, but it dehydrates the hell out of me if I'm working outside or something.

For whatever reason, it never had that effect on me. I was no worse off after the race than my younger skinnier teammates that drank the "proper" stuff. That's all I EVER drank when I was at the track. When I was at the race track, I ran on pure adrenaline and sometimes would forget to even eat. During one particularly hectic day at the track, somebody handed me a cookie and I realized I hadn't eaten or gone to the restroom in over nine hours. Even now, when I'm sitting in the stands during one of those scorching hot Brickyard 400's, It's a Diet Coke every 40 laps. And no, I don't pee until after the race is over.

My stream stopped for a moment while I was watching the race yesterday so I got to see this...

If your stream stops, you're not taking in enough fluids.

I’ve been wrong about Austin Dillon, he’s having a good season so far

That is a nice looking car.

Could be the "Reddick" effect.
