NASCAR Might Run An EV Racecar in 2023, SUVs Too

An alleged leak says NASCAR could take the Gen 7 Cup car into the electric era with 1,000 hp EVs as soon as the 2023 Busch Light Clash.

Yes, we all know that hardcore, over 65 crowd of NASCAR fans are going to hate hearing this. Even so, the push by the OEMs to produce electric powered vehicles like the Ford Mustang Mach-E is starting to hit home with America's premier racing series. While the new Generation Seven NASCAR Cup car is intended to be modular and able to accept any type of powertrain, a leaked document is showing that NASCAR wants to begin its electrification era as soon as the 2023 Busch Light Clash. Also, if that leaked document is to be believed, could the Mustang Mach-E, 2024 Chevrolet Blazer SS, and 2023 Toyota bZ4X bodies replace the NASCAR Ford Mustang GT, Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and Toyota Camry TRD bodies the Gen 7 currently uses?

7. THE LEGENDARY JIM HALL AND HIS CHAPARELL 2J !!!

I don't need aerodynamics! I'll just use the engine to power a vacuum cleaner to keep the car on the road!

When he came back to Indy Car in the early 90's with Jeff Andretti driving the Pennzoil Lola Chevrolet, he was as much of a character as one would expect!

8. I'm not so sure they'll hate it right away.

I didn't grow up in a NASCAR loving environment, but I had friends who did.

They love cars, and they're fascinated by any car that goes fast. If the EV does well, they'll like it. Why would they care?

9. According to a right wing friend who loves NASCAR, it's the

roar of the engines that fans love. I asked if he cheered for the loudest car or the fastest? He replied, the driver. I said what are you going to do if your driver is in an EV? Crickets
