Nascar Racing – Nascar Shop

I was reading an article the other day talking about television networks and their advertising revenues when I came across this interesting fact. The article was giving data about the two most popular outdoor sports in the USA.

Some sports enthusiasts keep statistics on how many people go to all kinds of events. Of course they do, they need to know where to put their advertising dollars. How many people are directly involved is one measure of popularity. This is only regarding sports that are entirely outdoors.

The first one of the 2 most popular outdoor activities or sports is birding, or birdwatching. How is birding a sport? For the most part there are no teams playing against each other. It is individual one person against nature. Both birding and fishing I can understand because even though you do not have to be an athlete to do them, you can get very competitive.

You would be amazed at how many people are birding these days and it is a low-cost hobby or sport to participate in. One last thing I want to mention about the expenses involved in this sport is that many birders invest in a quality pair of bird binoculars to get the most out of their birdwatching trips. If you are going to do serious fishing, you will spend about the same amount.

Really? Yes, I could not believe the second most popular sport is NASCAR racing.The second most popular sport is NASCAR Racing. This amazed me when I read this fact. I guess it is the excitement of the chase and watching the people changing ranks after or even during every event. There are hundreds of thousands of fans attending every NASCAR event all over the country.

What makes NASCAR racing such an incredibly popular spectator sport? There are hundreds of thousands of fans attending NASCAR events. And NASCAR has a lot of racing events all around the country. Just think how many people would have to fill your baseball stadium to equal the number of people at a Nascar event. It is the stats folks. The statistics about the numbers of people. That is how they came up with birdwatching and NASCAR as the top two outdoor sports. You really could have fooled me!
