As far as NASCAR events being a magnet for rednecks and so-called "white trash", that is a somewhat outdated stereotype. Plenty of them still DO attend these events ( as you found out ) but for the most part, the old Dukes of Hazzard and Smokey and the Bandit image has been replaced by a nationwide audience of people from many walks of life. In terms of attendence and money spent at these events, NASCAR is just destroying F1. It is not even a contest.
Nascar makes more money that F1????????

Worldwide...no. In the U.S........you better believe it. NASCAR is BIG bucks here domestically. In pro sports it is exceeded perhaps only by the NFL.
