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.”

They could easily save fuel by no going so darn fast.

Was that a stupid comment? It's no more stupid than what they say they will do.
It's the Leftist way to "fix" something by ruining it.

Professional hockey’s love affair with sexual deviancy is going to kill that sport too. The players see this and are starting to refuse being used by the NHL as homosexuality ‘pride” pimps. Rainbows, unicorns, drag queens and 100 mph hockey pucks. Which doesn’t belong?

This should be an easy one. Don’t buy tickets to Nascar races. If you can’t give it up then just be quiet about their wokey crap.

NOOSECAR was dead to me after the Bubba Wallace incident. With this in their future, they will only be more dead to me.

What I don't understand is how professional sports, like so many other institutions, believe they can appease the radical "progressive", "woke" mobs by acquiescing to their demands. Churchill said it best: "Appeasement is feeding a crocodile hoping it will eat you last. The radical left hates them - especially NASCAR with its patriotic and mostly God-fearing fan base - and seeks to destroy them along with every other vestige of American patriotism and traditional religious values. You cannot "coexist" with people who hate you and want to see you dead.

“Drag Queen racing for sissies and trannies.”

I know drag racers have trannies, but are there “drag queens” in drag racing?

“Pounding the final nail in NASCAR’s coffin.”

Yes and Dylan Mulvaney will be driving the “Bud Light” car.

Heh, Harvick is retiring.

Thinking Brittany Force definitely qualifies on that one. She goes head to head with the best in the biz and wins on sheer talent.

NASCAR has been dead for quite a few years now anyway...

They had their highest revenue year ever in 2022.

Nascar is very asset invested. Not like a beer that can sell all over the place.

Shut it down. Pick one event and simply no one attend. Partially block the roads and hand out flyers about killing that particular event as a demonstration. Don’t obstruct, just inform.

Drivers, suppliers, etc will go nuts.

Used to be “TROPHY QUEENS” to give the winner the trophy.

Been around drag racing since about age 19. Now 83. NEVER remember seeing anyone who was “light in the loafers” or lesbian..

BTW—TV TOMMY IVO’s Birthday is today.
