NASCAR is about the racing, not about developing or validating new forms of propulsion. The same is true of the NHRA.
Here is a case of where everyone can learn from Tony George's IRL folly: if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.
NASCAR ain't broke. There's no reason to try to fix it. As Lee Roy pointed out, such things are best left to Le Mans and sports car racing."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

Yes, racing can be used for validation. But not so much so in NASCAR. NASCAR has built a large and growing audience by focusing on the drivers and the racing... not the technology.
Manufacturers are still somewhat free to use Le Mans for product and process validation. At Le Mans and in the ALMS, the "cars are the stars" (right? ). In NASCAR, the drivers are the stars. Each form of racing is meeting with success right now. I enjoy both, though for different reasons. I'd prefer that neither changes, just for the sake of change."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

I'd be more interested in them using hydrogen or something like that, but I don't think NASCAR will make the switch for a while. The fact is, NASCAR has bigger problems on their plate to fix, and despite being too liberal for my own good, I don't think fuel is one of them.
On the topic of innovation, ditch the COT, ditch common templates, and go to a more 90s-ish format. Or Late Models.Support your local short track! If you don't have one, build one!

On the plus side though, I could see food concessions go up at the tracks if they switch to biodiesel!I'm choosing Joey Logano as my avatar. I feel he is a worthy ally.

NASCAR would be better off with out some of the small teams in Sprint Cup. There are more cars than talented drivers. It used to be a Nationwide driver would go to a small team like Wood Brothers, Junie Donlavey, or Morgan McClure. After proving themselves with a small team, they'd go to a larger one like Roush, Hendrick, or Childress. Now that the Nationwide Series is incorectly treated as a new driver proving ground, the small teams are nothing more than filler. They get drivers like Terry Labonte, Ken Shrader, and Joe Nemecheck who should have gotten out of racing years ago.
