This brings about something I've been wondering.

NASCAR has a huge fan base. You see it in the ratings, merchandise sales, at the tracks, etc. However, it always seems difficult to find fans. In my building right now there are probably 80-100 people and I'd be willing to say there's a max of 3 NASCAR fans. And the other 2 may or may not have watched more than 1 race this season.

I do see a fair amount of driver # stickers on cars, but it seems like finding more fans shouldn't be so difficult. Not to be stereotypical, but I'm in Kentucky...I should be able to throw a rock and hit 2 at any given point.

Wes, you're not looking in the right places. Check out the airports. I've seen more NASCAR merchandise there than anywhere else.

Charlottesville, VA (AKA hippy-town) is certainly not the place.

I LOVE your "man-on-the-street" interviews. This is a strong piece for you!

Damn, I pitched Naked Racing back in High School to the local racing board and they totally shot me down. I knew there was a market for this!

Well done Cutler as usual. You rock!

Wes ... Go to Tennessee. Criticize Sterling or the Vols and you'll be pummeled.

But to your point ... this sport has plenty of room to grow. Once many of thee folks realize how fun it is and how most fans are not toothless and drunk it will continue it's meteoric rise.

Holy crap. I was laughing through the whole thing! Cut, you rock at this kind of stuff.

Lauren, was that naked sailboat racing?

Cutler, those decks are slippery enough without being nekkid! And I lets not even talk about the cleats. Ouch.

Culter, you may be the only person in the last 200 years to have interviewed former President and Statesman Thomas Jefferson, the father of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.....and what do you ask him???? You sir, are a comedy genius.

I am a NASCAR cheerleader! I have pom poms too! I encourage all to purchase pom poms and shake 'em at the races!
