It's the hip and trendy thing to do. You don't need the fastest race car; you need a mathematician crew chief and the up-to-date driving skills on how to get one or two, or maybe three of four, extra laps out of a tank of fuel.

"It used to be at a track like this, one lap short [on fuel] meant you better come in because you weren't going to make it," Gordon said. "Now guys have figured out they can make [it] with all kinds of things, like pushing in the clutch and shutting off the engine.

"You can stretch it four and five laps now, even at a big track [2.5 miles] like this. It used to be impossible to save that much fuel, but guys are figuring it out. It's something a lot of people have been working on. Now we work on it."

Oh my! Next thing you know you won't be able to tell the difference between NASCAR and the Shell Eco Marathon. I bet Big Oil's white collars are at an emergency share-holders' meeting right now...

When BMW started racing the 3-series Diesel in 24 hour saloons in the early 90s they won a lot of races by just not stopping as often as the petrol cars.

Just shows that if you are patient enough; reality will finally break through!
To see NASCAR using ecomodder tactics is just too cool!

Ecomodders ARE reality! YEAH!!!
