Whether we like it or not, total electrification is upon us. It won't happen tomorrow, next month, or in a couple of years, but there will come a time when the internal combustion engine will only be seen on private roads, tracks, and museums. You don't have to believe us. Here's NASCAR paving the way for a major change.
