What does a NASCAR driver do if, in the middle of a race, he has to go the bathroom?

There is no small urinal, catheters or any other device to use the bathroom. First of all, drivers have the salaried equivalent of your mom telling you to go before you got in the car. Crews are paid to prepare not only the cars, but the drivers, for races, and one of the duties of the crew is to monitor the driver’s pre-race routine. They will eat a meal around 10pm, no later than 11pm the night before a race. (I know this is gross, sorry, this comes straight from the crews) he will pass this meal 8 to 10 hours later, thereby hopefully eliminating the urge to use the race car as a restroom. They will catch the driver then in the morning and they will try to get him to eat a bowl of hot cereal before his ‘well rounded pit stop’. What about unplanned stops, right before the race? Just prior to a race, you will see all of the drivers hitting the bathroom. They will always try to hold it and worst case scenario they will go in their pants and sit in it the rest of the race.
