    We drive semi, not race cars. Lol. Are you talking about hauling the racing equipment or driving the race cars?

    I think it would be extremely fun to drive a race car.

    If they're going to give you a full time salary and expect you to drive and work all the time you are at the race tracks, Then you must have them realize you have to be off 10 hours before you can get the cars out of the tracks, or just drop the truck off and go to motel like some Nascar truck drivers do now?

    I bet there was a pile of tacos at the finish line. Why else would one race anywhere.

    14 hour rule only applies to driving, not working. Hell none of the HOS restricts on duty not driving work.
