INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The IndyCar Series and Indianapolis Motor Speedway are going green.

Penske Entertainment, the parent company of the series, announced Friday it will start implementing more eco-friendly plans starting with next month’s Indianapolis 500. The race is scheduled for May 29.

All tires delivered to the speedway also will be relayed by electric vehicles and all electricity consumed at the speedway this May will be purchased through 100% renewable energy credits. Race organizers say fans also can offset their carbon footprint by donating to the GreenTrees reforestation project, something the speedway will support financially.

Other initiatives to be adopted this May include expanded recycling and food recovery programs and a retail store inside an electric truck where every item sold will be reusable or designed from recycled plastic.

Long-term plans by IndyCar announced on Earth Day include expanded use of the guayule rubber tire and using transporters that use renewable fuel.

Why donate to a green trees initiative, if you’re going to
starve them of the air they need to thrive?

Perhaps they ought to get rid of fuel-guzzling motors in the race cars and install bicycle pedals.

They should just park the drivers in one of these simulators and they could really go green!

That is next! You bet it is. Dovetails perfectly with the lockdown / stay home NEW WORLD ORDER - Great Reset.

There is already an Autonomous Indy Challenge for driverless cars. Luminar Technologies supplies the sensors for each of the dozen or so cars that are programmed by universities from all over. I think a German university won this past 2021
. Everyone should buy Luminar stock (LAZR) lol
