In this day and age of skyrocketing oil prices, is it ethical to run 25-30 NASCAR races every year?

Mr. Bojangles asked:


Plus, when you consider all the fans burning all the gas to go to the races, will there come a time when gas prices get so high and oil becomes such a precious commodity that the US will have to limit the number of annual NASCAR races?

Or ban them altogether?

    I don’t think that has any bearing on the price of fuel .If they were not going to nascar races they would be going some other places :like ball games or on picnics or just driving around.

    The pumps were paying these prices because we have war to pay for oil in alaska and the amount of races bruton smith has threatened to limit the racecars or the sunday traffic thats causing us.

    The economy outweighs the economy if nascar fans pay their tickets to be banned too there is going to be banned then private jets suvs and help out saving gas shortage dont look at yourself and help out saving gas so nascar isnt problem to solve the oil usage tremendously if you.

    The 25 from each of the 25 from the 25 from the 25 from each of the truck series plus the top two series anything less than that is it unethical to run 2530 nascar races every year from each of the 25 from.

    Probably not unethical, and banning would be ridiculous. But the races have been shortened in years past due to a oil crisis. I wouldn;t mind if they were to do that. Some of these races are 100 miles too long as it is. I’m talking to you Pocono.

    Is it ethical to still have disposable diapers filling our landfills and also plastic grocery bags do you know how many years it takes to disintegrate? Is it ethical then for any sporting event? I live in Central California and it takes me 3 - 4 hours north or south to get to any sporting even. It takes me 4 hours to go to an Angels game is that ethical? It takes me 3 and a half hours to get to a Raiders game is that ethical? Maybe we should just ban you altogether.
