General Motors is gearing up to lobby NASCAR to consider switching to ethanol fuel, according to the Associated Press. Late last year, GM and U.S. democratic Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa privately asked the racing organization to make the switch. Because NASCAR has resisted the change, GM is preparing for another round of lobbying, the report said. The Indy Racing League has already begun a transition to the alternative fuel. Next year, all IRL cars will run on pure ethanol. “It fits the racing mode, and we would definitely be in favor of any move that moves us away from dependence on foreign oil,” said GM’s Brent Dewar.
