NASCAR Stupid Idea of the Day
Sit down. Hold onto your hats, sombreros and cowgirl hats, it’s shocking but this NASCAR Stupid Idea of the Day didn’t originate in Daytona or Charlotte.
It comes by way of Canada and the Toronto Star.
Tyler Hamilton opines for the fish wrap’s business section and notes both auto racing’s history of innovation transferred to street machinery, the current price of fuel and Big Three sponsorship cutbacks.
It all got him to thinking, a dangerous thing for certain Canucks from appearances, and floats the idea NASCAR should lead the way and go plug-in. (Please, hold you guffaws ’til the end)
If that’s the case, you’d think NASCAR would be on top of the automotive world’s leading trend: electric drive systems and the move toward plug-in vehicles. If GM is betting the farm on its electric Volt car, NASCAR doesn’t appear to be following — let alone leading.So here’s my suggestion: What about starting a NASCAR division dedicated to the racing of electric cars? Cars could be repowered during pit stops with battery swaps. Each team would be allowed a certain number of batteries. That way, teams aiming to win would have to focus on improving battery range and power density.
Ok, you can laugh now.
As for me… I’m gobsmacked.
I got nothing else.
Well, except for this… I wonder how well this would scale up?
NASCAR is stupid. There no stupid ideas, only stupid people. To raise the IQ average in NASCAR, they had to add city boy from CA.
That’s just brilliant “Panther.” And you known this how?
Certainly not by learning the sport demographics that disproves your childish assertion.
You are a pretty funny guy… making yourself look so stupid in a comment about others you allege to be the same.
Panther, for your information there is a city boy from California racing in NASCAR. Does the name Jeff Gordon ring a bell?
You’re such a loser.
Guess you didn’t notice, “Panther” may be as dumb as a box of rocks, but they did in fact state there was a CA “city boy” in NASCAR.
Who looks like a loser now?
