Jeff Gordon in diapers?

I also considered Jeff Gordon to be a bit of a cry baby, but I now see that he wears diapers too. In fact, according to this article, 4 out of 5 NASCAR drivers wear diapers during the races.

The use of diapers and other urine retaining systems are nothing new to auto racing. its a necessity in long races such as 24 hour races or rally raid's such as the Dakar Rally.

Of course they!!! i think this one is a fake though. only becuse i remember one time my driver (tony stewart) had diahrea during a race and won and when he won he drove straight to his mobile home to freshen up while everyone was waiting for him in winners circle!!!! KInda felt bad for him but he did win the race. as far as peing during the race ...... doesnt realy ahppen to them they sweat so much during a race that they usualy become dehydrated by the end of it . them drinking something in winners circle is not only for show it to replenish fluids lost during the race. and for people to say they are not athletes .... try driving one time for four or five hours in a car with the heat on and the windows up on a 100 degree day and see how well you do.

I competed in a few amateur rallies in 2002 in a used group N Subaru Impreza WRX. it is VERY hard work. and yes you do sweat ALOT. but I wouldn't say that you get dehydrated. in fact it can be quite the opposite. most race cars now employ a fluid system similar to the 'camel backs' used by soldiers. most of which have a tube in the helmet for drinking. either way, you do have access to water in the car. (and yes I did wear a diaper) but it was before I started wearing 24/7. fun stuff.

Cool seamuis !!! did you do any good in the race????
