If you're a motorsports fan you've probably come across stories on the efforts Formula One (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/f1/) has made to reduce its carbon footprint (KERS anyone?), but you might not have heard about what's being done in the world of NASCAR (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nascar/). Turns out it's pretty intense.
In 2008, NASCAR chairman Brian France got to work on creating a green initiative (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/brian-frances-vision-set-nascar-204600879--nascar.html) for the series.

The initiative has a "managing director of green innovation," (http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2013/04/19/nascar-green-mike-lynch/?section=money_topstories) Dr. Mike Lynch, a website (http://www.green.nascar.com/) with ways everyone can get involved (http://www.green.nascar.com/race-to-green) in making the Earth greener, hybrid pace cars and Miss Sprint Cup in a green race suit (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151347459341727&set=a.10150625786611727.378681.72782516726&type=1).
It's gotten bigger every year, and NASCAR will crank up its promotion with a 30-second spot that ran several times during the STP 400 at the Kansas Speedway.
