Clay says a gas-powered generator inside the vehicle wasn't properly ventilated. NASCAR's Texas 500 was running at the speedway Sunday.
Clay says both men appeared to be in their 50s when they were taken to the infield care center. One was airlifted to a hospital for treatment in a hyperbaric chamber. Their identities haven't been released.
