The question of whether NASCAR should continue racing during oil crises has been broached on several occasions, namely during the oil shortages of the 70's as well as the price inflations of the 2000's. In the 70's races were shortened in an effort to save precious fuel.

Today, this is less of a concern, as the fuel used in a typical NASCAR race is of a much higher octane and would be unsafe to use in a typical street car.
