		The NASCAR brand of stock-car racing is rooted in the early days of bootlegging in the southern U.S. The first race is generally thought to have taken place some time in the mid-1930s, in the town of Stockbridge, Georgia.
		NASCAR’s presence in Canada can be traced back to July 1952, when Buddy Shuman won the race at Stamford Park at Niagara Falls, Ont. In another race held at the Canadian National Exhibition Speedway, the partiarch of the Petty family, Richard Petty, won what would be the first in his long series of NASCAR victories.
		NASCAR races are held on four different types of circuits: Super Speedway Ovals, at least two miles in length; Oval speedways between one and two miles in length; Short tracks less than a mile in length; and road courses.

		Nascar itself denies having any stereotypical fan, while encouraging the idea that it is a political player.
		Nascar claims some 75 million fans and, by some measures of regular season TV viewership, it is second only to pro football as a national sports pastime.
		Nascar fans shop against their best interests so they can remain loyal to the sponsor of a driver they root for.

		NASCAR is a gateway drug, and I've been addicted since I was a small child.
		With all the chatter about NASCAR dads being the 2004 presidential election's most sought-after swing voters (as soccer moms allegedly were in the '90s), I should have been better prepared.
		My point is that true NASCAR dads can see through this sort of subterfuge for the political pandering that it is. When it comes to the sport, there's only one thing that matters.

		NASCAR dads are variously defined but seem mostly to be family-age men in rural areas and small towns in the South.
		More ecumenical definitions of the NASCAR dad don’t have a regional flavor but are targeted at downscale white males wherever they may watch the races.
		To promote her discovery, Lake pumped up the numbers, telling Democrats in 2002 that 48 percent of all men are NASCAR dads by virtue of having watched a race in the past year.

		The analysts may not think of NASCAR Dads as green, but a well-oiled administration that revoked approval of the Kyoto protocols, made a scam of fuel emission standards and barely uttered a post-9/11 peep about renewable energy is offering the next generation a future about as dark as the track.

	Democrats hit skids with NASCAR dads
		The question of whether Democrats should consider NASCAR dads an important voting bloc is a subject of lively debate among party activists, pollsters and political science professors.
		Graham, who was at zero percent in the polls when he dropped out, is not seen by DLC centrists as a true test of the NASCAR dad strategy because his campaign was rife with other problems.
		But some political science professors, such as Larry J. Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, believe the whole concept of NASCAR dads as a swing group is a "silly" invention of pollsters and that Democratic candidates are going to have a tough time attracting their votes in any case.

	The New Electoral Sex Symbol: Nascar Dad
		Nascar dad is, apparently, the white, heterosexual embodiment of the swing voter in this next election, and a great deal of time and effort and money are being spent trying to hunt the poor guy down.
		Sadly, Nascar dad, lionized by left and right alike but understood by neither, has become in the last year another strategic abstraction, another tiny, lifeless stick figure in the dim shadowbox of American politics.
		As I said, Nascar dad is a mighty complicated man. Look far enough past the "bikini inspector" hats and the rainbow suspenders, the clichés and the rhetoric and the race to catalog the constituency, and maybe you'll catch a glimpse of him.

		Soccer moms and office-park dads were all-the-rage, but lately, NASCAR dads have been enjoying plenty of attention.
		NASCAR dads, if you believe the hype, are married, working class white guys, between the ages of 30 and 50, with limited education who live outside of big cities.
		For example, Gary Langer, ABC News’ polling director, has concluded that NASCAR dads are a very small percentage of the larger voting population, which, more importantly, rarely change their party preference.

		Even the alpha NASCAR dad, former Texas oilman George W. Bush, said America is "addicted" to oil and needs alternatives.
		NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said officials are focusing on the transition to unleaded, which might begin with tests in the trucks and Busch Series this year, but would consider ethanol or other alternative fuels down the road.
		Beyond that, there's only one reason for NASCAR to be wary of ethanol: Keeping folks in the infield from trying to chug the leftovers.
