What Makes Stock Car Racing Different?
The key to Stock Car racing’s popularity is the up-close and personal interaction with the fans. Professional sports stars are, in general, unapproachable. To get an autograph of your favorite ball player is nearly impossible. But Stock Car racing, especially at the local level, offers fans the unique opportunity for personal contact with the drivers and the cars. This interaction cements the personal identification. Stock Car racing is more than a driver and a car, it is an entity requiring knowledge, aggressiveness and showmanship – it is a team sport as much as any other.
