09:12 AM ET 08.26 | Decibel levels at NASCAR races are dangerously high, according to recent studies by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The noise also makes it more hazardous not only for fans, but also for drivers, crew members and everyone else who spends time at a racetrack during a NASCAR event. A co-author of the studies, Dr. Luann E. Van Campen, said Niosh viewed Bristol as a worst-case situation for noise because of the bowl-like stadium track surrounded by stands that rise 21 stories.
