Author: Have NASCAR’s Demographics Shifted to the North and West?
Die hard NASCAR fans know that the southeast has always been considered the home of NASCAR. Tracks like Talladega, Atlanta, and the Charlotte Motor Speedway, have helped make stock car racing what it is today. But , as this sport continues to reach out a little farther each year, will the southeast continue to be considered NASCAR-s home?
Races are or have been held in places like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Kansas City, New Hampshire, and even Phoenix Arizona. Could a new home for NASCAR develop somewhere to the west or north as the sport keeps growingtime will tell. The fan base is certainly spreading across the nation at a furious pace. Stock car racing is the fastest growing sport at this time and shows no sign of slowing down.
As demographics shift north and west, NASCAR no longer seems to be just a southern sport, it is beginning to take on a more national look. If something doesn-t happen to kill the momentum of growth, stock car racing could one day rival the other two major sports for fan numbers and advertising dollars. What a shake up that would be! NASCAR has certainly changed the sport from weekends on tiny little dirt tracks in the south to the super speedways where racing takes place now. Can-t wait to see what-s next.
