People can sometimes be very perplexing individuals. And perplexing individuals in groups, well they can be annoying, devoid of logic, and in some instances, some, make sense. Perhaps this was the situation that few of the NASCAR fans faced during a race weekend earlier this year.

It is from the time when gasoline prices were skyrocketing in the country. And the eyes, ears, and mics turned to motorsports, including the premier league of stock car racing.

Ahead of a race, a reporter asked several fans, “Do you think it’s irresponsible of NASCAR to be holding this race considering the gas prices are so high?”

Now, their replies ranged all the way from defensive, ignorant, fun, and cool.

“You know, we pay for beer? Gas is cheap,” said one fan while another replied, “It don’t matter to me. I wonder how much they have to pay for it.”

One fan emphasized how, “you have to have NASCAR,” while one said, “I mean, how can you stop NASCAR? No matter how much gas it’s gonna be, they’re still gonna pay for it.”

But perhaps the best response, or certainly the funniest one was from the fan towards the end as he said, “No, more gas, the better.”

“Burn it.”

Could NASCAR go electric in the future?

In an interview from earlier this year, Steve O’Donnell candidly spoke about their interest in exploring the electric side of things when it comes to having racecars on track for racing action.

“We are exploring some opportunities around an exhibition series in that space,” O’Donnell said.

“As everyone knows, there’s a huge push across all of our partners, and even potentially new OEM partners. So it’s important for us to explore that space. I think there’s a lot of interest from our current partners to be part of that.”

“If you went to a NASCAR event weekend, you could see whatever type of technologies you wanted throughout a race weekend,” he added.
