Electric vehicles are coming to NASCAR is NHRA next?

Shocking developments!

Too soon?

NASCAR is already limiting their gas engines to either 550hp 0r 670hp depending on the track, they might as well go electric, they have already basically turned in their man cards.

NHRA already creating a class for EVs, not news.

ALL the mfg are going electric- better get used to it.
How long before all our old ICE hot rods are relegated to nostalgia classes?

So Top Electric Dragster. That will bring the fans! A least A.O.C. will be happy!

I'm not fully up to speed on EV's, but it's well known that electric motors create a magnetic field. It's my understanding that current government grants have funded research that allows this "free" magnetic field to be utilized by the tire manufactures in their steel belts that will effectively eliminate tire slippage. More torque equals more magnetism equals increased adhesion. So the good news is not only will there not be any noise or nitro fumes, there won't be any tire smoke either. It will be rainbows and unicorns at national events.

Metal in the track surface?

I think NASCAR needs to think carefully about their customer base before making these suicidal moves.

The FIA has Formula-E. They are the support race for Formula-1 events. Racing in Monaco this weekend. It is highly competitive racing.

Can you imagine the thrill of hearing the roar of an electric motor firing up? Be still my beating hart.
