The Myth of Nascar Redneck Politics

G.O.P. candidate Rudy Giuliani done an appearance during Daytona International Speedway over the week end announcing – “I wish the float in the gait car.”

Giuliani spoke to reporters in the garage stall of Rusty Wallace Racing, wanting to climb in the single of the team’s competition cars. Rudy was denied the event because, according to Rusty Wallace, Giuliani wouldn’t fit through the window. ??I said, ‘Rudy, the complaint is I’m as well large to get in there, as well as you’re as well large to get in there.?

Wallace told reporters, “If he’s really critical about it, I’ll find the automobile for him to get in. He wants to get in the genuine automobile as well as get upon the competition track.” Rudy ended up roving in his debate bus around the track though vowed to lapse during the debate to hitch the float in the gait car.

Kevin Harvick, the fortifying Daytona 500 hold up pronounced Monday (January 21) he proposed examination MSNBC coverage of the presidential primaries as well as pronounced he found it “pretty entertaining.” “Politics is the unwashed sport,” Harvick said. “I suspicion the competition was backstabbing. Man.”

During the headlines discussion during Daytona International Speedway, where the second week of Sprint Cup contrast got underneath approach Monday, Harvick was asked if he has the favorite among the Presidential candidates.

When asked about the Democrat candidates, Harvick replied, “No, please. we don’t wish my president to cry,” referring to Sen. Clinton, who misted up upon the debate route in New Hampshire.

Who does Harvick like? Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, the Republican.

“I similar to Huckabee, to be honest with you,” Harvick said. “I only similar to the approach he presents himself as well as the approach he talks. Giuliani has been to the lot of NASCAR races, though we only similar to the approach Huckabee presents himself – whatever that counts for.”

Let??s burst the strikebreaker Nascar fan myth as well as look during because politicians will continue to intrigue Nascar fans.

According to the NASCAR survey, published in 2004, about 40% of fans have been female as well as their numbers have been rising. About 75% have attended college as well as some-more than 25% own their own homes. About 36% of NASCAR fans have some-more than $50,000 the year.

Surprised?

NASCAR fans have been uniformly distributed opposite the country. For example, 20% of NASCAR fans live in the Northeast U.S.; this is in line with the ubiquitous population. 20% of the U.S. competition lives in the Northeast.

While the largest bottom of NASCAR fans live in the Southern U.S., only 38% of the NASCAR fans live in the South. Again, this is in line with the ubiquitous population. 35% of the competition lives in the South.

If we think that most NASCAR fans have been strikebreaker as well as caucasian, think again. According to the same NASCAR survey, about 10% of NASCAR fans have been African-American, that is the somewhat smaller commission of Blacks than in the ubiquitous population. This compares to the NFL, where Black NFL fans paint about 11.7% of the total NFL base.

The commission of African-American NASCAR fans has grown by 86% since 1999. There have also been some attempts by NASCAR to move in some-more African-American fans in to the seats, as well as drivers in to the races. The consult did not indicate what commission of fans have been Hispanic.

What can we conclude? Nascar fans have been everywhere as well as number in the millions. In the close race, they could have the disproportion as to whom is chosen the next President of the United States.
