Although I don't care at all about the sport I'm glad there are 2 races each year in Talladega with roughly 300,000 race fans between the 2 annual races making a significant contribution to Alabama's economy.

It has a huge following. People from Michigan and Ohio pour into Charlotte for the races here.

There are two major misconceptions when it comes to NASCAR fans:
--One is that people assume all "rednecks" live in the South.
--The other is that the overwhelming majority of fans are "rednecks"
I fall into the latter category

I HATE Nascar.

There were only 2 culture clashes that I feared in A&M coming to the SEC:
1. Mustard or Vinegar based BBQ
2. NASCAR
I'm glad to know that at least one of the 2 was a myth. I still will never understand #1 though. In truth I would probably go to a NASCAR event if I had VIP seating given to me or could be inside the track, that is assuming I don't actually have to watch the race and I can expense the alcohol.

I think nascar fans are nascar fans first second third and fourth
with really nothing else in there
now some ppl who love CFB/NFL/MLB/NBA might watch some nascar (I don't, never have, it's tardtastic IMO) but doubt it would be a top five choice for many over here

For me, NASCAR is #3 behind Football (CFB and NFL) and basketball (NBA)

I couldn't care less about NASCAR. My dad loves it, but he's the farthest thing from a redneck. That is one of the big misconceptions.

I only watched it when Cartman drove the Vagasil car. Now it sucks without him being stupid and poor.

Usual reaction when people find out I'm a NASCAR fan is "what?! black people like NASCAR?!"

This is just dumb. Then admitting to following mildly? You must not know how many redneck dirties live in Florida, lol.
I fricking hate nascar and everything about it. When the highlights come on ESPN, I turn it immediately.

Agreed.
I grew up watching NASCAR and still follow it, though not nearly as closely as I used to. I've been going to the spring Talladega race for a while with a buddy of mine and it kills me the people who you see show up for it. I'd say half the folks there only go to the race because they feel a need to join in with the stereotype that since they're redneck/white trash they have to like NASCAR. I've just never seen so many people spend so much time/money/effort to go get piss arse drunk, and I say that having been to a lot of CFB games. I still like racing, can't say the same about the fans.
And just for the record, I like NASCAR and DID graduate from the school I support.

I like NASCAR. I've never been to a race and no I didn't graduate from Auburn. To all the haters: DWI.
