Motorsports Safety Group Seminar at Charlotte to Focus on Brain and Spine Health and Treatment

Officials from the Automobile Racing Club of America announced today that Motorsports Safety Group will again be hosting a Safety Seminar at Charlotte Motor Speedway

Dr. Jason Cormier, founder of Motorsports Safety Group and one of the country’s leading neurosurgeons, will present a thirty-minute session at Charlotte Motor Speedway immediately following the days Driver/Spotter meeting. The Seminar, scheduled for 10:30 AM, will include material directly related to race drivers and crew members, and health matters specific to spine and brain injury and treatment. Attendance for all entered drivers is required, and the seminar is open to all licensed participants. Crew Chiefs and car owners are encouraged to attend. Practice and qualifying activities for the General Tire 150 will follow.

 “My goal, the goal of all of us involved with Motorsports Safety Group,  is to provide clear, scientific advise to drivers, pit crew and loyal fans that come out every weekend,” Cormier said. “While the sport has dangers, we can take precautions to provide a measure of safety.” 

With his surgical background, Cormier has begun engaging companies to establish new technologies to diagnose and rehabilitate head injuries. He is now focusing his efforts on prevention. 

Through Cormier’s work with racecar drivers, he has found that very few have the desire to alter their racing styles, so preventative measures are best taken before the racing begins.

“We are excited to be back hosting another series of seminars in 2019,” Dr. Cormier commented. “We covered a lot of ground over the past two years, and look to take a little deeper dive this year.”

 The Charlotte seminar will be the second scheduled meeting with Motorsports Safety Group in 2019. Additional Safety Seminars are tentatively scheduled in conjunction with the Thursday, June 27^th ARCA Menards Series event at Chicagoland Speedway.

 Dr. Cormier formed the Motorsports Safety Group to create a means by which to promote health, wellness and preventative practices within the sport of auto racing. Dr. Cormier crafted this strategic partnership with the ARCA Safety Initiative Program to form a “Motorsports Healthcare Education Plan,” a high profile, interactive activation designed to reach millions of race fans throughout the country. The Motorsports Safety Group’s support of the ARCA Safety Initiative was announced at the Performance Racing Industry Trade Show in December of 2016.
