Wikipedia says NASCAR Busch Series will switch to unleaded in the 2nd 1/2 of 2006, with full time use in the Nextel Cup slated for next year. Anyone know anything about this?

The Busch and Truck series are already using it. If all goes well, the Cup series will use it starting at Daytona next year, aybe sooner. Nascar is only twenty years behind the times on this one. The main issue with engine reliabilty is with the valves. As far as I know, the teams are putting a special coating on the valves and so far things look good.

they ought to actual turn to electric powered vehicles altogether! All that pollutants is amazingly unfavourable this earth. merely bypass and get the information of international warming led to with the help of such issues as NASCAR and so a lot more effective becsause of risky emmissions thrown into our environment carelessly. on the speed we are going with our love for chemical substances contained in our environment, in ten years Greenland would have melted. And if that occurs we would have 20feet higher seas international huge. And meaning lack of existence to thousands and thousands of persons and lost lands international huge. Watch Al Gore's awesome documentary on the theatres "An Inconvenient actuality". nonetheless if NASCAR CANT produce electric powered vehicles i imagine unleaded gas can be a lot more effective acceptable. yet I dont agree anymore with out of control emmisions into earth's environment. i choose MY EARTH secure!

Common sense would dictate that, with the peak of oil production & the coming decline of fuel supplies, the powers-that-be would do away with NASCAR & all other recreational races until they find a viable alternative source to power these vehicles.

the lead in the leaded fuel helps lubricate the engine better then unleaded, motor oil will be a big issue with the unleaded

yup it is true not to mention besides the so called global warming but unleaded is less expensive seeing how every one who drives usses it and it is stock car racing after all.

public opinion is very worried about global warming at the moment
nascar fans might not be but sponsors are worried about being associated bcos of public opinion so they are having to change fast, or there might not be any racing is the impression im getting
