Large Standard Flag

NASCAR’s image?

What is everybody’s take on NASCAR’s image? We all know the stereotypes like rednecks, ignorance, and poor people being attracted to the sport. We also know that NASCAR has a continues battle with their cousin sport of Formula 1 racing. We all know that minorities are not a large fan base, and we know that lots of Confederate flags are raised during a NASCAR event. What does everbody think of the above images listed? Do they add to NASCAR’s special roots, or does it make NASCAR look bad? Are you okay with the current image NASCAR has? Or does it not affect you? How would you make it better, if you think it needs changes? I’m strictly speaking about the view of NASCAR be other peoples’ standards and not about the drivers or their driving ability.

I don’t know about others but I do know that Nascar is the most watched sport in America. Nascar has become a billion dollar sport and it ticks people off to no end!!

I myself am African-American and a woman so that whole notion that Nascar is a “redneck” sport has been thrown out the window a long time ago. I’m a senior in college and will be getting my Bachelor of Science degree this spring. Nascar fans come from all races, cultures, backgrounds, etc. There are people who don’t want to see growth…they want to see hate because that’s what some of them live off of.

If a fan wants to fly the Confederate Flag then that’s their business. It’s their constitutional right. It’s part of Nascar’s roots,Nascar got it’s start in the south! You can’t change the roots of the sport.

People need to open their eyes and realize that we are in the year 2006…not 1976!
