According to "Sports Business Magazine", NASCAR recently conducted a fan survey and raised the possibility of introducing flying car exhibition activities.
One of the questions in the survey was: "Which types of vehicles should participate in the exhibition?" Answer choices include flying cars, pickup trucks, crossovers, cars/coupes, and SUVs. SBJ reports that the NASCAR investigation described the flight card as "similar to a drone, but large enough to hold one person."
Ben Kennedy, senior vice president of strategy and innovation at NASCAR, recently told SBJ that the alliance has begun to develop a simulation timeline for 2031 to outline its innovation goals for the next ten years. The survey was conducted through the NASCAR Fan Committee, a 25,000-member group established in 2008 to help the organization get feedback from fans on topics such as advertising and rule changes.
NASCAR president Steve Phelps previously mentioned the possibility of launching an electric racing series. The NASCAR fan survey is released when Australia-based Airspeeder plans to launch an electric flying racing series in 2022, while Extreme E continues its off-road electric car series that debuted in early 2021.
