Have you been to a NASCAR race lately????...tickets at $75.00 and UP!!!for the cheap seats...parking lot littered with $40,000.00 pickups/SUV and motor homes that run well into the 6 figure catagory (like 1/4 mil and up) and pay upwards of $150.00 to "camp" there for the weekend the spending these people do here in NH during the two race weekends we have is phenominal!!!!
Yeah I could see where the locals wouldn't want "that" element around....
Gone are the days when your adverage NASCAR fan was a beer/mustard stained T-shirt wearing "redneck"...(a word I'm proud to call myself by-the-way)
Plus you'll be hard pressed to find a politer bunch than those "Southern Hicks" put us puritanical Notherners to shame...
Just another case of ignorance, and stereotypes...
