The protection racing professionals trust
DuPont is proud of its innovations that enhance the high-performance world of professional racing. For more than 30 years, DuPont™ Nomex® brand fiber has been the industry leader in providing thermal protection against the ever-present danger of flash fires at the racetrack. That's why almost all of the drivers competing in NASCAR®, IRL, NHRA, CART and IRHA events wear flame-resistant racing suits made with Nomex®. And they're not alone. Nearly all the pit crews, rescue teams and track officials who work in the presence of potential flash fires also depend on Nomex®, because it protects them from intense heat and flame, provides the valuable seconds they need to escape fires and minimizes the potential for burn injury.
