It's not about Mother Earth, it's about keeping racing from falling too far behind the enviornmentalism curve. We're never really going to be "green", but you don't want the sport to look like a bunch of Neanderthals relative to the general public of the future. Otherwise it could become even easier to shut racetracks down than it is today.
Plus, by running Ethanol, you can send out press releases before the State Fair races saying that the car race at the State Fair is helping corn farmers.
