Who uses more fuel NASCAR or MLB?

Pure nonsense
From sponsors upping track-side recycling programs to Pocono Raceway's decision to build a solar farm, the sport is growing increasingly cognizant of its carbon footprint.

Liberty Tire is currently the premier provider of tire recycling services in North America, reclaiming more than 1.5 billion pounds of rubber each year for innovative, eco-friendly products. The recycled rubber produced by Liberty Tire is used as crumb rubber and industrial feedstock for molded products and rubberized asphalt; as tire-derived fuel for industrial kilns, mills and power plants; and as rubber mulch for landscaping and playground safety surfacing.

Recently FOXSports.com reported that NASCAR will begin using E-15 fuel in 2010. Lee Spencer wrote that Hendrick Motorsports has already begun testing for the transition and Roush Yates will begin preparing in the near future.
