Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Nascar Is now Anti-gun

I am reading other forums, Nascar is banning gun ads , Story at ammoland !

Guess banning ads in Vibe or Computer Gaming World would strike too close to the audience for comfort?

Seems like the NASCAR fan demographics would include a high percentage of outdoor sports enthusiasts and would be large and lucrative market for businesses in the hunting/fishing/boating areas.

First the Confederate Flag ban, and now guns.

Really playing up to their fan base, aren't they?

Hint: NASCAR died with Dale.

NASCAR Bans Gun Adds
I was a big NASCAR fan 30 years ago. In the late 90s they started shifting away from the tracks and fans who had supported the sport since its founding. They wanted to get into big money markets, so they thumbed their nose at the short tracks and and their longtime fan base.
Weeds growing up in Darlington and Martinsville, but that's ok 'cause we're selling tee shirts and toy cars in Chicago!
Screw 'em. I don't miss pro racing any more than I miss pro football.

WTF's next? Kneeling drivers?

Admittedly my interest has been waning for a few years, but this is could remove what little I had left.

This might inspire KaperDick to try a new sport, since he is clearly a failure at football.
Screw NASCAR!

Brian France is a [bleep] moron.

I stopped watching Years ago, Started going to chit in the late 90s

Yeah, I have no interest in nascar.

Wow! A big middle finger directed at their prime audience.

Ricky Bobby doesn't approve.

Same here on stopping football and Nascar. None of them will go broke due to me. But quite a few of my friends and most of my family are now that way. Most of the NFL players I hear about are not when they help the community but when they assault, sell drugs, and murder someone. Millionaire cry babies. Part of the problem in all of our problems in the US is the news media. In 1974 I came home from work, sat down in the easy chair to watch the news. Some poor guy got stabbed many times and of course died. All during the news article there was an inset in the upper corner of the picture of a revolver, which had absolutely nothing to do with the news. I quit watching much news at that time. I hadn't believed the NRA about anyone trying to take our guns/Second Amendment. That was Kansas City news channel 4 or 5. I got tired of the KC Chiefs at that era because they kept Hank Stram and Lennie Dawson but they kept losing not just a little. They would be winning and come back for the second half and put in the cheerleaders. Just got tired of it all. Be Well. Rusty

After literally growing up around 1/4 mile dirt tracks in the early 1950's, I've never been terribly impressed with watching a bunch of guys parading around a super-speedway at 200 MPH. There's a whole different experience for fans as well as participants, doing it at 80 MPH and rubbing wheels all the way around the track. The only thing better than watching is building and running those cars!

That was how it was for me, motorcycles, karts and dirt cars. I stopped before it killed me thank God. My first wife loved to attend the nascar shows so I took her. When she passed that ended, it had started to get weird by then anyway. I still go to the local tracks to see the flat track bikes. I don't watch nascar at all now.

I’m thinking they have a shrinking fan base and hope this will attract a new type of Fan. I don’t watch but have relatives that do and it seems most that had big parties in race day have shifted to other sports/entertainment.

The only thing stock on those cars is maybe the chev or ford or dodge sticker

The front office needs new people fast

Oh I just love restrictor plate racing, watching everyone drive in ellipses in a big pack until someone goofs and takes out half the field.

I can't sit still long to watch nascar or baseball. Not begrudging anyone that enjoys it.

Edit: I need to add golf to the above.
