NASCAR, IndyCar Praised For Vegan Fare At Tracks

NASCAR and IndyCar owners are being praised by PETA for teaming up with Levy Restaurants to offer vegan food to its fans at several racing tracks, including Atlanta Motor Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, Infineon Raceway, Kentucky Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
“Compassionate and health-conscious car-racing fans who take advantage of vegan options at the track can help make sure that they’ll be around for many more races to come,” said PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk, who is said to be a racing fan. “After all, vegan food is high-quality fuel for people, but cholesterol- and saturated fat-laden meat, dairy products, and eggs slow you down because consuming them is like pouring sludge into your transmission.”
“Whether they’re for Team Lally, Earnhardt, Hamlin, Stewart, Patrick, or anyone else, race fans always have a reason to cheer when they’re treating animals and their bodies well with racetrack fare such as the Going Green Salad With Fried Green Tomatoes, the Summer Vegetable and Tofu Flatbread, or the ever-popular Sloppy Jane made with tempeh, peppers, onions, and molasses and brown sugar barbecue sauce,” writes PETA on its blog.
What exactly does this Sloppy Jane contain again?
Promising to tempt the “most devout carnivore,” the vegan sandwich is filled with, “tempeh, fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions, savory spices and a touch of molasses.”
Placed on Levy’s menu this season, this faux meaty sandwich is predicted to reach the checkered flags before all of its competition!
