NASCAR Driver Anthony Alfredo Stays Hydrated With FluidLogic Flush 360 System

Front Row Motorsports racer Anthony Alfredo is one of the hardest working racers in NASCAR. Finishing in the top 20 in three of the five races so far this season, Alfredo finds that staying properly hydrated with FluidLogic’s Flush 360 System, is giving him an advantage by staying properly hydrated. “The FluidLogic system has made mid-race hydration so much easier for me and more effective,” says Alfredo. “I use the Flush 360 system which allows me to hydrate under green-flag conditions, but to do so with ease since I don't have to snake the tube from a water bottle through my helmet to take a sip of water. Before, I could only drink under caution, since I needed to take my hand off the steering wheel. With the Flush 360 system I simply press the button on the steering wheel with my thumb, and water squirts into my mouth from the nozzle that fits around my microphone.” 

With more opportunities to take small drinks of water, Alfredo is taking advantage of many studies done on athletes who perform better and stay focused on task when they are properly hydrated. “NASCAR Cup racing is the most challenging type of racing I have ever experienced,” he says. “It is super important to stay hydrated in order to stay focused when you are racing on the edge of control at 200+ mph, and only inches from other cars around you. Being able to ensure I stay hydrated during the race definitely helps me stay focused and performing at my peak both physically and mentally.” 

The FluidLogic Flush 360 system delivers water from the system’s “Pod” via a medical-grade silicone hose, up to the driver’s helmet and through a magnetic coupler that easily attaches and detaches without spilling or losing pressure. “The magnetic attachment of the Flush 360 system not only makes it easy for me in the car but it makes it safer if I need to quickly escape the vehicle in case of an accident,” says Alfredo. He and other NASCAR racers such as Kyle Larson, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and others, are discovering the advantages FluidLogic can provide by making it easier and safer to stay hydrated during a race. FluidLogic components have more than five years of testing and development, enduring the most extreme racing conditions from the dust and heat of Baja to the Brickyard at Indianapolis.

NASCAR Driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Uses The FluidLogic Hydration System As An Essential Tool For Racing

Ricky Stenhouse Jr., NASCAR driver for JTG Daugherty Racing, believes staying properly hydrated helps him perform and recuperate faster, during and after a grueling race. “I think hydration has been overlooked by a lot of people,” says Stenhouse Jr. “Until I started using the FluidLogic hydration system, I realized I had also been overlooking the advantages of being properly hydrated. With our races being three to four hours long, staying hydrated is difficult. FluidLogic is a nice tool to have for me to be able to drink throughout the race and helps remind me to drink with the indicator light.” 

Stenhouse Jr.’s No. 47 Chevrolet NASCAR Cup Car is outfitted with the FluidLogic hydration system that feeds fluid through the air hose that is connected to his helmet via the Coaxial Maglock magnetic coupler. He is able to program the system to indicate via an LED illuminated button on his steering wheel when it's time to take a drink. Pressing the button activates the system and squirts water from a nozzle mounted around his in-helmet microphone. “Using the FluidLogic app on my mobile phone, I have my timer set to flash at me every two minutes, and give me that reminder to drink,” says Stenhouse Jr. “Incorporating it into the Maglock system has been really nice to use, as the hydration hose runs through my air channel, keeping the fluids cooler than they would be from a normal water bottle.” 

After using the system for the past three seasons, Stenhouse Jr. can feel the difference in his body. “I feel so much fresher when I get to the end of a long, hot race,” he says. “Being able to drink while under a long green flag is key in NASCAR Cup races and eliminating the crew guys giving me water during pit stops allows them to focus more on their duties too. On Monday mornings after a Sunday race, I also feel really good and am able to get into the gym and start putting in the work for the following week.”
