To the non-fan, NASCAR stands for "Non Athletic Sport Centered About Rednecks"....it is actual which means is "National Association for Stock Automobile Auto Racing". To corporate America it stands for "Large Business"

NASCAR and their premier division "Nextel Cup" is the second most watched sport in America, only the NFL tops it for attendance and tv audiences. On any provided weekend for the duration of the season, more race fans pack race tracks to capacity, than any main sporting occasion... All-star Game, Superbowl, or PGA Golf Tournament. The website 'NASCAR.com' gets more than One particular BILLION hits a year

The Nextel Cup features 26 weekly races, plus a 10 race playoff type schedule. It really is the only sport that has what is referred to as "It really is Superbowl" as the 1st race of the season. The Daytona 500 is viewed by more than 30 million, more than 180 thousand pack the grandstands and infield each year for that event.

This sport that several assume their fans to be white, male, and southern. Nicely, that assumption is just plain incorrect. NASCAR's fan base is produced up by 40% lady, in truth, NASCAR has more females watching, than the NFL or Key League Baseball. The minority fan base increases each and every week, creating up about 10% at this point. The average revenue of a NASCAR Nextel Cup fan is 83,000 a year.

You see corporate sponsor names everywhere, on the vehicles, uniforms, tracks, and merchandise. NASCAR fans are the most "Brand Loyal" in the globe. These sponsor names cash in on that loyalty...Dale Earnhardt Jr. fans drink Budweiser, you won't uncover a lot of Tony Stewart fans setting one foot inside a LOWE's, since Tony is sponsored by "Residence Depot", Jeff Gordon fans paint with nothing at all but Dupont paint, and so on. It price ten to 20 million per year for the top rated teams to be competitive and Corporate America is far more than satisfied to cough up that kind of money for what they get in return. It charges sponsor's around a million and a half dollars a season just to have their firm name on the trunk lid of a top Nextel Cup car.

The drivers are the stars and they provide anything from: very good looking, ugly, fat, tall, thin, smart, dumb, intelligent, stupid, macho, wimpy, young and old. You can not uncover an additional sport that offers the drama week in and week out that a NASCAR Nextel Cup race gives.

This is only a short overview of America's second most watched sport, there is a lot far more to uncover in future articles related to NASCAR, but you can not deny, that NASCAR is the greatest

reality show there is.
