I quit watching NASCAR several years ago. I stopped about the time Tony Stewart last raced (whenever that was).

Viewership is going to continue to drop and those that in the past had faithfully attended every race in their area are going to slowly stop attending any racws.

“ The day this hits the track I’m done,” one X user said in disgust.”

Me too. It will bomb out just like other failed attempts

Can’t wait to see them going into the pit to charge.

Coca Cola 600. Sorry can’t run it. Our limit on the batteries does not allow it.

Bad choice of audience. Should have had a pink skateboard with an electric motor at a drag queen show in New York.

These people probably are like the Jeff Foxworthy ones “who can attend any NASCAR race in the country and not need a program.”

NASCAR began a long slow decline after Dale Sr. died, going to electric cars in order to achieve Net Zero or sustainability goals is about as stupid of a thing as NASCAR can possibly do, it could well kill off an already dying sport.

Heck it wasn’t that many years ago when the Championship was called the Winston Cup and tobacco companies were major sponsors, cigarettes and other tobacco products were passed out as samples to fans.

Imagine the first crash where they can’t put out the battery fire and have to cancel the race and evacuate the track.

NASCAR has a death wish. The perfect example of how wokism and PC destroyed this sport.

Totally on purpose.

Can’t wait to see Joe Biden plugging in one of these cars during a race! Think of the historical significance!

Wait until the first crash where the batteries short out and fire erupts that can’t be put out and no one wants to touch the car for fear of electrocution. This is all theater because the race cars burn fuel that is essentially pollution free.

Wait until the first crash, when the track and people in the stands are showered with flaming battery chemicals that can’t be extinguished.

I wonder how refueling works. If they have a hotswap battery this might be possible. And that would actually improve commercial EVs because the biggest issue is the slow refuel rate. Hotswap batteries would fix that.

The crashes will be spectacular. A huge ball of flames consuming the car and the driver in an instant. The spectators will get a huge dose of deadly toxic chemicals to breath.

NASCAR still has fans? Who knew?

EV NASCAR - it’s like current NASCAR, but with the added excitement of watching paint dry - silently.
