US Motorsport under threat

According to this article, the US Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to close down all forms of motorsport in the US:

That sounds pretty extreme but I know next to nothing about the background to this and whether it is at all realistic.
Hopefully it is being over-hyped. If it is a real prospect, that's very worrying because where America leads.....

Lucy P: thanks for the clarifications. It was the involvement of SEMA, per the article, which made it look much more serious than just a case involving one supplier. In the UK there are a lot of wonderful classics that have been modified for racing but are still road-legal. I expect there's many such vehicles in the States. As a fan of historic racing, the implication for those cars was a concern.
Hopefully that act will pass and all will be well.
