Nascar gears up for net zero by 2035

Nascar has committed to reaching net zero by 2035.

The US stock racing company has stated it will start on the road to achieving this goal by powering all of its racetracks and facilities by 100% renewable energy.

Implementing sustainable racing fuels, electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and availability of recycling points at all its locations is also on the green agenda.

It has followed other motorsport competitions such as Formula One, which has pledged to attain net zero by 2030.

President Steve Phelps said: “As a sport, Nascar has a responsibility to serve and impact the communities where we live and race while contributing to a healthier planet.

“With the support of our industry, Nascar Impact will drive our strategic sustainability, community and social initiatives as we continue to make progress across these important areas.”
