The founder of The Horton Safety Team, known today as the AMR Safety Team, revolutionized IndyCar during the CART era by introducing new concepts, vehicles, and mobile medical units that did not exist prior to Horton’s arrival. With his primary business in the manufacturing of ambulances, Horton applied his real-world knowledge to the comparatively primitive state of emergency and medical response vehicles, forever changing the sport.

Steve Olvey's book has a nice section on the creation of the Safety Team.
Sad to lose a true pioneer. RIP
