Green energy's probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a race track like Infineon. More like lots of cars using lots of gas…

"There's a certain irony involved with a facility that runs NASCAR and NHRA top fuel dragsters taking a green message to market but we think that the time is ripe."

Steve Page is the president and general manager of the Infineon Raceway. He says they'll be installing solar panels over the winter.

"The projection is that it will generate enough energy to satisfy 41% of the electrical energy loads that the raceway uses over the course of a year."

The installation is part of a sponsorship deal with Panasonic Corporation of North America.
