By The FirstNASCAR surprised fans across the country Tuesday when the organization announced its plan to be “carbon neutral” by the year 2035.
“It’s an ambitious goal but one that holds us accountable as we begin to think about sustainability differently,” said Eric Nyquist, NASCAR’s Chief Communications & Impact Officer. “There is much work to be done but the fundamental objective is clear: we must reduce our emissions over time.”
“This begins the next phase of our sustainability effort,” said Riley Nelson, NASCAR’s Head of Sustainability. “Measuring our carbon footprint will become an annual process, and as we improve year-over-year with the support of the industry, we’ll identify new ways to contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment.”
