Another little tid bit that my husband told me that really surprised me. The best advertising dollar you can spend is spent at NASCAR. Evidently its pretty cheap to buy a bunch of decals or caps with your company logo, and NASCAR consumers are supposed to be the most brand loyal. I guess it's sitting there watching all those logos go around for hours and hours. Must sort of subliminally brainwash them or something. I don't 'do' any sports, but I find this one particularly annoying because of the noise.

| I love, love, love NASCAR!!! Am I a redneck? No! Don't know any either. I am going to stay calm, cool and collected about this thread even though I don't want too.

| I hope I didn't offend you w/ my posts. I hate the word redneck and feel bad about even using it. I was just trying to answer the original poster's question about what I have seen Nascar portrayed as. I still stand by what I said as that I have always figured that no one went to the races except the stereotypical race fan man, but I guess Dawn has proved my long-held stereotype wrong.

Maybe mildly offensive because some people are proud of it? I've always thought of redneck and hillbilly to be like a joke. You know, like Sherry Lynn pointed out as the Jeff Foxworthy joke... furniture on the lawn, beat up motor home, incest, etc. No one's really like that. At least I don't think any family is really like that ?? As everyone knows, there are really people w/ mullets though

| Hubby is in multi media PR, so he wouldn't advertise at NASCAR, he just always talks about that kind of stuff. I guess my point being that dollar for dollar the company's get the best return and consumer brand loyalty when advertising with NASCAR. I didn't realize it was that expensive, but that must be the reason they can charge what they do. Sounds really competitive! I know one time I saw one of the winners on TV (I couldn't even begin to tell you the specifics) but they kept changing his cap to different logos and taking pictures of him wearing each one while holding the trophy. They were changing them really fast, and there were A LOT of caps!! I wonder what they would charge for that!

| My family loves nascar, whether it is considered a "red-neck" sport or not . In my opinion, Sterio-types of any kind are wrong, and by saying Nascar is a "Red-neck" sport thats what you are doing making up a sterio-type. Dont get me wrong yes, there are some pretty wild people who like Nascar but all fans of this sport are not like that.

Also, I never said redneck is the same as blue collar and I don't think badly of either. There are many proud rednecks, and there's some funny redneck comics (they call themselves that, and I laugh at their jokes, thus I think they are quite funny). NASCAR sponsorship is BIG business.

I guess I think in terms of Jeff Foxworthy's definition of a redneck as "someone that has a glorious lack of sophistication"!
