Speedway Fire Rescue: How to save a driver

In the special The Heart of the Story with Gary Metivier "American Drive" we take you inside the world of fire rescue. These men and women volunteer to be there so that dirt track racers and their families have protection. They talk about their training and the adrenaline they get while working in the sport they love. With tribute to Gil Short @speedway fire rescue who they lost this season.
