If I was king, I'd require NASCAR to run a hybrid pace car that gets better than 40 mpg. (A hybrid that ONLY gets 33 mpg? Weak!) I seem to recall reading that a certain independent domestic manufacturer is offering a 41 mpg mid-size hybrid. Ummm.. who IS that?

well with GM shuttering the doors this summer Corvettes are in short supply. :lol:

what do you want to bet the Camry Pace Car has been relieved of heavy bits that might make it slow?

Well, they could start by tossing that big honking battery pack.

Unfricken believable. From Moonshiners to tree huggers in just 60 years? I kind of expect the Eurotrash F1 kers system but not Nascar.

81 MPG. Must have some kind of fancy restrictor plate.
