An allegedly leaked document says NASCAR wants to take the Gen 7 Cup car into the electric power era with 1,000 hp EVs as soon as the 2023 Busch Light Clash.
and do a series of six exhibition races with the all-electric conversion in the same year. The one for the Bush Light Clash would end up as the demonstration prototype with a launch target of"Q3, 2023" for the exhibition series version. The overall goal of these exhibitions is to get fans interested in EV NASCAR racecars and to also learn the best path forward to push out an all-electric"National Series for 2025.
It's kind of interesting, but again not unusual considering the Camping World Truck Series exists. The chassis of the Truck Series is different, even between the old Gen Six and the current Xfinity car, but the overall design and layout is very similar. The trucks are a bit wider, taller, and longer, however.
While not a"no," it does show that NASCAR really wants to make an EV series using the Gen Seven car. However, they aren't committing to saying that it will happen by 2023's Busch Light Clash or that season at all. Still, for EV enthusiasts, this would be a huge shot in the arm in an already popular market. You just have to wonder how long it would beTrending Pages
