QUESTION How do track workers know when to display flags?

4 Upvotes

I'm thinking on tracks other than ovals where you may be positioned around a corner or behind a crest in the road. Obviously if there is a wreck after your position you can throw a yellow without waiting for instructions. What about blue flags? Does a radio call come from race control?

Apologies if I haven't asked this very clearly I'm obviously not a marshall.

Hey everyone! I am just about 16 and I have been a huge motorsports fan my whole life. I found this cool subreddit and was wondering how I could get into a similar position. Maybe for like a summer job or something like that. Thank you for any help!

Hey guys, im looking at finally getting behind the seat of a sprint car. Always wanted to and have been in the stands for years. Was curious if you guys have any insight as to what goes on if you rent a track out for the day.. regarding track prep and what needs to be done. Also, how much do most tracks cost to rent?
