NFPA 610-2019 is a comprehensive standard that focuses on improving emergency preparedness at motorsports venues. The standard is applicable to both indoor and outdoor events, whether held at temporary or permanent facilities. Its purpose is to provide guidelines and strategies to racetrack owners, operators, promoters, first responders, insurers, and sanctioning agencies, to ensure the effective implementation of safety and emergency response measures.

The 2019 edition of NFPA 610 places emphasis on planning and training as crucial components of emergency preparedness. It aligns with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), aiming to optimize fire suppression, rescue, and medical care during emergency situations at motorsports venues. The standard encompasses various aspects, such as the proper deployment of resources, critical incident stress management (CISM), and the increasingly relevant issue of active shooter incidents.

This edition of NFPA 610 also introduces revisions, including an updated sample incident action plan and changes to the definition of Level II and Level III motorsports events. The standard stresses the importance of ensuring that emergency workers receive appropriate training and equipment, while venue personnel are ready to effectively respond to emergencies and ensure the safety of competitors and first responders in post-crash situations. NFPA 610-2019 serves as a vital resource for those involved in motorsports event management and emergency response planning.
