I always hear people putting down NASCAR, whether it's on forum boards or t.v. or in real life. But there are millions of us, so it seems that new fans are coming into the sport. Have you ever successfully made someone who wasn't a NASCAR fan into a NASCAR enthusiast? If so, how?
?

Being out here in Calif, its hard to convert people into Nascar fans, but I have converted 6, and theres a couple more who will tolerate it because of spouses or friends like it.

Yes I converted an old boyfriend of mine into a fan. He had never watched Nascar but I liked to so he started watching. One year he bought me Daytona 500 tickets. After that race was over he was at the top of the list of Nascar Fans. I still see him once in a while and he still loves it. He goes to a race every year.
Makes me sad I get left out now....

Yes I have!!! I've been a fan of racing for years, since I was about 5, now Im pushing 30 lol. How I converted about 5 people is, if they are in my house on a Sunday, the race WILL be on, track pass WILL be playing. If you wanna hang out, you'll get used to NASCAR. Then I would start getting asked questions about it, who's what #, whats a pit crew, and on and on and bam they got hooked lol The more of us the better! High 5! :^)

Yes, several persons became fans after showing no previous interest. It was easy. I just took them to a race. They were fans before the cars even got up to full speed. My Mom's jaw just dropped open after they went by the first time at Daytona. After the race she subscribed to a racing magazine. She watches more races now than I do and it has been over 10 years. Several other friends were hooked at Texas when the cars came by the first time. They didn't make it back around the second time because there was already a wreck and a fire on lap 2.

My girlfriend was never into NASCAR until she met me. We were talking on the computer waiting for the 2007 Daytona 500 to start. This was when Tony was still with JGR so we paid particular attention to them. Well when they were going through the starting lineup they got to Denny Hamlin, well my girlfriend had her finger on the d key and forgot to pick it up, lol. She swears to this day that the corner of her book was pushing it down though. Halfway through the season she adopted Kyle Busch as her driver. She works on Sundays, and usually doesn't have access to a tv so the first thing she does when she gets home is ask me how the race went.
