Hooch is what created stock car races. Maybe they can develop a net zero racecar that runs on pure Ethanol. Get the fuel from Jim Beam or the maker of EverPure grain alchohol. That stuff would burn.

Better fuel by far would be methanol. Burns very clean, unlike the corn derived ethanol in auto fuels. Burns dirty, and rots rubber parts in small engines (which may have been the intent to drive people to idiotic battery grass cutters).

I think literally NO ONE who considers themselves a fan of NASCAR cars about what type of fuel the cars burn, it’s been part of the sport from day one.

The only people who care about Net Zero or Sustainability in NASCAR are the people at the top and maybe a few sponsors.

Indy cars. I guess the organization is a bit coy about the ingredients post 2023 but the largest proportion is ethanol derived from sugar cane waste and the mix no longer contains any gasoline.
