Chevy pushing for alternative fuels in NASCAR
Quote selected text Published April 16th, 2008 in NASCAR News
Chevrolet is continuing its effort to have NASCAR make alternative fuels a priority.
“We’re pushing hard – we probably are the instigators a little bit,” Chevrolet Vice President Brett Dewar said during the Texas race weekend. “We believe in green racing, and we believe it is very appropriate to do that … We believe it’s time. We think racing can also be green, and we would like it to be biofuels.”
NASCAR executives have indicated that alternative fuels are a priority.
“They’re definitely receptive,” Dewar said about NASCAR. “They’ve got fuel providers, and it’s a transition, and I don’t want to mitigate the fact that some work has to get done.

WHO DONATES TO THE MOST TO BRIANS FUND ,SUNOCO OR ETHANOL MAKERS/THAT WILL DETERMINE WHAT FUEL THEY USE.NOT THE ENVIRONMENT.
They could always use Budweiser, it’s made from grain and thats a bio fuel…then they could tell the oil companys to screw off…I think the grain farmers would toss a few $$$ in to make this happen.
Man im bored today, this saving the planet takes a lot outa you. think ill go have a beer…lo0l
It takes alomost a gallon of gas to make and distribute a gallon of ethanol.
In reality, many sources of Ethanol are worse for the environment than gas. There are a few that are slightly better… but in the long run, running diesel would be FAR better.
I vote that the Truck series should run turbo-diesel engines.
