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.
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 agree. Dale Sr. was the man. I continued following Jr. After he left, I haven’t watched much. It is dying. The EV’s will finish it off.
