As the global community prepares to celebrate Earth Day, NASCAR today announced its commitment to achieve net zero operating emissions by the year 2035.
The announcement coincides with the launch of NASCAR IMPACT, a new umbrella platform designed to align and advance the sport’s collective efforts around sustainability, community engagement and other impact-driven social initiatives.
NASCAR plans to reduce its carbon footprint to zero across all scope 1 and 2 emissions over the next 12 years through strategic investment, collaborative partnerships, and operational changes.
“As a sport, NASCAR has a responsibility to serve and impact the communities where we live and race while contributing to a healthier planet,” said NASCAR President Steve Phelps. “With the support of our industry, NASCAR IMPACT will drive our strategic sustainability, community and social initiatives as we continue to make progress across these important areas.”

Pit crews exchanging batteries every 75 miles and zero noise from the cars.
Will be thrilling to watch. Right. Sure.
Plus jacking up their rears means they always go downhill.
By 2035, I think NASCAR races will be a max of sixteen miles.
LOL!
I worked in Elmo Langley’s pit crew (jackman) back in the early ‘70’s...NASCAR was great back then...I really quit paying much attention to NASCAR around 2005...
Thinking the days of Southern red necks drinking Bud Light watching NASCAR heavy iron turn left all day may be coming to an end.
Kind of sad.
NASCAR—Bud Light on wheels...
“Can’t wait until virtue signaling goes out of style. “
I don’t think it will. The “everybody gets a trophy” generation is now seizing power. This is their country, and they are darn determined to ruin it.
My dad and I watched a lot of NASCAR races back when Richard Petty was driving.
Might as well go all in on slot cars.
Because NASCAR hurts womxn and minorities the most?
I’m not sure how much they are being paid, probably very little IMO, their sponsors who are the only thing keeping the sport going, since the stands are half empty most of the time, are the ones applying the pressure, this is a plan to avoid losing all their money because of threats of sponsors leaving them.
I don’t know whether NASCAR officials are praying the traditional fans that remain don’t abandon them or they’ve given up caring about fans by surviving on TV and Sponsor Revenue.
I don’t think NASCAR is doing this to improve their product.
Improving its product is all they should be interested in if NASCAR wants to survive as a sport.
There is no proof that NASCAR emissions have any effect on Earth’s atmosphere temperature.
Better yet NASCAR, trannies in kiddie cars...
NASCAR is dead.
Neil might be but Bobby is still alive!
