I found an article of Motor Madness on the internet that said that car in Nascar 250-mile races average around 2 miles a gallon. The article claimed that over the course of a season the sport will consume roughly 200 million gallons of gas. Another shocking thing I found in the article is that Nascar cars are exempt from pollution controls. Add on top of this how dangerous the sport and I think the sum may trump the entertainment of the sport and the job market it provides. The sport is wasting gas, killing the planet, and endangering its participants. I admit that I am bias and that I think the sport is boring, but there has got to be a better use for all those resources.
