NASCAR officials plan to use trained dogs to detect COVID-19 among essential personnel for Sunday’s Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
The procedure will be deployed on a trial basis as a potential first line of at-track defense designed to limit the spread of the coronavirus. NASCAR said teams were notified of the plan Tuesday.
“We think that these dogs and this capability is going to allow us to rapidly confirm that all of those people entering the essential footprint on Sunday — that’s race teams, that’s NASCAR officials, that’s the vendors that work inside the garage — all those folks are COVID-free or not,” said Tom Bryant, NASCAR managing director of racing operations.
“The ability to do that has kind of been the math problem that we have continuously tried to solve since March of last year.”
NASCAR officials are working on the procedure with 360 K9 Group, which has training facilities in Anniston, Ala., and New Smyrna Beach, Fla.
Two teams of dogs will screen essential personnel, determining in less than 30 seconds whether an individual has been exposed to COVID-19. If the virus is detected, the dogs will alert their handlers.
Do they get to ride with their heads out the window at 200 mph?

Garlic hides everything.
Good selection on dog the last thing they need is Biden’s dog Sargent biting someone at the speedway!
If you want to kill the dog, just send it down to the border where it will be worked to death. BUT—– you American citizens have to keep wearing masks. Even the pansy-assed EU people are saying FU to the masks. Do we have nobody with balls left here in the great U.S. of A. Screw ole hog-ass hogan and his fellow liberal pukes. Burn the damned masks—-NOW.
