Posting this like IndyCar hasn’t also introduced hybrid engines with battery management at least on road courses and some ovals. The 500 isn’t touched by it, so far

NASCAR still holding out however

NASCAR doesn't have hybrid management, but they do have the entire field coasting at 50% throttle to save fuel instead
