Coca Cola 600. Sorry can’t run it. Our limit on the batteries does not allow it.
They haven’t run a Coca Cola 600 since stage racing debuted.
Now, they’re just heat races, all added up. I really dislike the format, and quit watching when it began.
The Daytona 500 and Coke 600 used to be something special. No more.
it’ll be 600 meters.

So this IMO is a key to a rational approach and therefore won’t be done.
The race is 600 miles. If, or when, someone can design a car that does 600 miles at race pace and beats the ICE car, all teams will want to use it.
Lots of auto tech emerged from racing; that’d be OK.
That said NASCAR now runs in ‘stages’ (which I think are stupid but I don’t watch oval anyway) so that 600 mile range is really 150 provided the car’s ready to go for the next stage, right?
What’s not acceptable, is not interesting, and won’t be accepted as a mandate for daily use much less entertainment racing, is changing the job to be done to fit a fake agenda.
One would think this is a known factor; in Formula circles, Formula E cars do about 50 miles in a race vs. 189 in Formula 1 (and about the same as Formula 3). Formula E has yet to turn a profit despite increasing revenue, and takes in a tenth or less of F1’s income.
Given the left’s mindset and their control of C-suite offices and government positions, though, they will do what they’ve done everywhere from movies to agriculture: destroy everything including their own livelihood rather than deviate from The Agenda. Net Zero 2030 works just fine for them if nobody races, can work, or eat. Objective achieved, comrade!
No sweat. Qualifying on Thursday, Stage 1 on Friday, Stage 2 on Saturday, Stage 3 on Sunday, any necessary Overtimes on Monday!
