If you're a NASCAR fan, you know what I'm talking about. You've heard everything from "how can you watch cars go around in circles" to "Not Another Sport Centered Around Rednecks" to the tired out "toothless redneck" comments. You've heard about how NASCAR isn't a sport (yes it is) and how NASCAR drivers aren't athletes (yes they are). You've heard about how anyone could drive a racecar making left-turns all day for a living.
Race fans, we want to hear what you have to say. What stereotypes have you heard? What is your theory on why race fans are stereotyped and why many in the mainstream abhor NASCAR and race fans?
