With all the fatalities at auto race events, I’m surprised the libs haven’t tried to ban them. I suppose they don’t because no guns are involved.
Maybe they’ll just ban the “Young Guns”. Logano, Keselowski, et al.
They should arm the drivers and pit crew. That would definitely make races more interesting.

Just thinking out loud here, but you’ve got at least three problems with car racing as related to environmental health: gas usage in the races themselves, the use of leaded gasoline, and the hundreds of thousands of cars that drive to the races.
Doing a full calculation of the environmental cost of NASCAR (number of cars per race, number of miles per race, number of miles per practice run, number of races per week, number per season, number of fans driving to the races, number of beer cans thrown out the window) is beyond me.
