Safety innovator Bill Simpson was making the rounds in the Winston Cup garage
Thursday, showing off a new fireproof material he says could be worn under a
driver's uniform and would greatly increase the protection offered in case of
fire. Simpson said the carbonized material would offer 90 seconds or more
protection to a driver. Current material lasts only for about 12 seconds, he
said.
