To the rescue! CMS jet dryers help teams leave icy North Carolina
The jet dryer made a triumphant return on Tuesday, as some race teams needed a little help to leave icy North Carolina for the Daytona 500.
Charlotte Motor Speedway sent three of its jet dryers to Concord Regional Airport to help clear the runways.
