ATLANTA- Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens applauds the Environmental Protection Agency for withdrawing its anti-racing rule just two weeks after he joined a coalition of eight Attorneys General who objected to the proposal.

The EPA announced Friday it would withdraw language requiring that certified motor vehicles, engines and emission control devices remain in their certified configuration, even if altered vehicles were used exclusively for competition or non-road purposes.

“I’m pleased the EPA listened and halted the proposal,” said Olens. “We will continue our fight against executive overreach.”

Georgia signed the letter with Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, and West Virginia.
