Only 4% claim racing as their favorite sport?
Quote selected text Published February 20th, 2007 in NASCAR News
It was difficult to look at 200,000 fans packed into Daytona Speedway and not imagine that auto racing has become one of America’s favorite sports. According to a recent Gallup poll, however, auto racing isn’t very close.
The pollsters asked Americans to name their favorite sport. Football was the easy winner with more than 43% of the voting. Basketball was second with 12% and baseball followed with 11%. Auto racing landed fourth with just 4%.
The poll results didn’t mean that only 4% of Americans follow auto racing, only that 4% found it to be their favorite sport.

WHO DID THEY POLL?????
DEFINETLY WASN’T SOUTH OF THE MASON DIXON LINE!!!
That’s weird, I mean Football is my favorite sport, but I thought no one was really watching
Basketball Baseball and Hockey and they can barley sell half capacity of the games!
yeah i wanna know where they did this poll i don’t beleive it its not true!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They probably did this poll on college campuses. I mean , if the world series game 7 were played in a 250,000 seat stadium and tickets were $100 a piece , it might have 100 ,000 of the seats full.
It makes sense, as in the areas where racing is super popular (South), football is a religion.
They need to go to Talladega, Martinsville, Bristol, Concord and Daytona and do the survey again. This will give a dramatically different results!!!!
