Aint enough greenwash to cover what they are attempting to hide.
...Firestone is the only tire supplier for IndyCar; it manufactures 28,000 Firestone Firehawk tires in its workshop in Akron, Ohio. Each tire is handmade, and the right front differs from the left front, while the right back differs from the left back. Harrigle says there are 68 different specifications for tires for the 2016 race season, and Firestone will always bring a few test tires to each event for the week’s practice. Each Indy team will go through approximately 200 sets of tires: 52 for road courses (primary and alternate compound), 60 sets for street courses, 36 sets at the Indianapolis 500, 43 oval sets and six sets of rain tires.

The amount of $$$$$ all the racing communities contribute all across the USA is staggering.
I have no idea hos many work for Penske, but I would NOT be surprised if it was around 1000 employees in racing alone.
IMO, Roger is an American hero & no one pays attention to his impact in America.
Where do they burn all of those tires?
I’d like to see that event.
damn...
