To the non-fan, NASCAR stands for "Non Athletic Sport Centered About Rednecks"....it is true which means is "National Association for Stock Vehicle Auto Racing". To corporate America it stands for "Massive Organization"

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 offered weekend in the course of the season, far 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 1 BILLION hits a year

The Nextel Cup attributes 26 weekly races, plus a 10 race playoff variety schedule. It is the only sport that has what's referred to as "It's Superbowl" as the first race of the season. The Daytona 500 is viewed by more than 30 million, over 180 thousand pack the grandstands and infield every year for that event.

This sport that many 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% woman, in fact, NASCAR has a lot more women watching, than the NFL or Main League Baseball. The minority fan base increases each week, producing up about 10% at this point. The common revenue of a NASCAR Nextel Cup fan is 83,000 a year.

You see corporate sponsor names everywhere, on the automobiles, uniforms, tracks, and merchandise. NASCAR fans are the most "Brand Loyal" in the planet. 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 1 foot inside a LOWE's, due to the fact Tony is sponsored by "Residence Depot", Jeff Gordon fans paint with nothing at all but Dupont paint, etc. It price ten to 20 million per year for the top teams to be competitive and Corporate America is a lot more than pleased to cough up that sort of cash for what they get in return. It costs sponsor's about a million and a half dollars a season just to have their organization name on the trunk lid of a best Nextel Cup automobile.

The drivers are the stars and they offer you every little thing from: good searching, ugly, fat, tall, thin, wise, dumb, intelligent, stupid, macho, wimpy, young and old. You can not uncover yet another sport that delivers the drama week in and week out that a NASCAR Nextel Cup race delivers.

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

reality show there is.
