NASCAR Rejects Gun Ads, Cites “Gradual Shift” on Guns Joins Yeti, Dick’s, UnderArmour

Recognizing the brilliance of alienating half your customer base, NASCAR takes a "gradual shift left on guns."
Add another reason I'm a former NASCAR fan who hasn't watched in several years.

I stopped watching several years ago, too. It is clear to me that they no longer respect their fan base. This is just icing on that cake.

That will prove to be a good idea when they build a successful Speedway at the Meadowlands. NASCAR is, essentially, betting they can attract urban SJWs faster than they'll loose their historical fan base. I'd bet heavily against this decision.

Half your customer base, try all the customer base. This was a Dixie Chicks move. Oh. Can I still say Dixie?

Do we see how far the Left has taken us in just a few years. I never realized that the Dixie Chicks, if they hadn't self destructed, would be criticized today for their name and libs would be calling for boycotts. Didn't I read that some Fair was called the Dixie Fair and they were changing their name.
What happened to illegal alien, its now migrant.
I mean there is nothing more good ol boy Southern than guns, moonshine and NASCAR.
It is a cultural war and we are losing.
In 20 years there won't be a picture of George Washington anywhere. They will probably take most of these Presidents off the money.
And this 1619 thing is really making me unhappy ( sanitized for the forum not what I wanted to say )

I'd have to guess the fan base for NASCAR own firearms. I also saw that NASCAR turned down a sponsor from a heavy metal band. The way attendance for races is going if I was NASCAR I'd be careful who they want to spite.

It will be interesting to see how well NASACR events are attended when all the teams are running Toyota Priuses.

Confederate Railroad got into trouble over their name last month.

Most of them aren't well attended already. If it wasn't for television revenue NASCAR probably wouldn't exist anymore.

I thought being there in person was the whole thrill. Hearing all those cars roaring down the track at once.
Golfismore interesting on TV.
BTW best title to thread all month, maybe all year.

I'm surprised it took this long considering all a NASCAR race is normally just a bunch of left turns.

Yeah, watching Indy and NASCAR on TV is about as exciting as watching paint dry. The only thing that raises eyebrows is the occasional crash, and what the heck, now you can watch 30-minute crash compilations on YouTube, so what's left?

I enjoy being at the track for a race. There's something visceral about all that horsepower. But, watching NASCAR on TV is BORING!
And Indy is a total yawn, even at the track.
