Nascar

In this era of stringent fiscal responsibility Nascar seems like the most wasteful activity in existence. A barrel of gas cost upwards of $99 and the strain at the pump is felt in every wallet across the country. We are trying to diminish our dependence on foreign oil all while trying to maintain our surplus. Then why is Nascar in existence, why? It is nothing but a monumental waste of gas. This has nothing to do with my disdain for the sport, this has to do with my heightened sense of responsibility, my attempt to salvage ourselves from this energy crisis. Nascar is frivolously wasting oil, the one thing we cannot afford to waste. This is like professional hunters competing for Bald Eagle kills. Oil is now endangered, and Nascar is nothing but a race, not to the finish, but a race to see who can burn the most gas.
