An interesting Firesuit Tidbit

A Tidbit by Bruce Simmons

Today, on NASCAR Live, with Eli Gold on Sirius Satellite Radio, Channel 128, Todd Bodine was the in-show guest, and a caller asked a pretty good question:
How long is a firesuit good for?

Well, my opinion on the issue would be that they are only as good as the main and associate sponsors sticking around, which, in some cases changes from year to year.

Todd Bodine said that firesuits are only good for about a year.
They have 2 or 3 suits, and they get dry cleaned every week and the chemicals in the dry cleaning process wears out the 'nomex' in the suits.

Now you know!
