There are a lot of perceptions that people have about the redneck community and some of them are true and some of them are not. I am sure that this is true of many different social groups.
I pointed out before that we are idiots in a lot of ways such as the fact that we are one of the only American demographics that clings to tobacco use, especially smoking, even after everyone, even dummy rednecks are very aware that it is terrible for you and is almost certainly going to harm you later in life.
This next one isn't quite as important as smoking but it is still something that is just assumed about the redneck community and I am dead sick of it. Most of my friends and the people I live around are rednecks to some degree and almost none of us even follow NASCAR, let alone love it.

I do, on the other hand, enjoy Bud Light
I would imagine that a lot of the fans of NASCAR are, in fact, rednecks. There are also people from all other walks of life that enjoy it because how in the hell could 100,000 seat stadiums get filled up if only rednecks were interested in the sport?
I have never watched NASCAR and I don't even know the names of more than one or two racers. The only reason why I know these names is because of Bubba Wallace's controversy with the "noose" and because of various other advertising. If you were to give me tickets to a NASCAR event I probably wouldn't consider it worth the gas money to get to the event.

People can enjoy whatever they want to. There are a lot of sports that I don't watch and don't understand people's enthusiasm towards but NASCAR really sticks out to me because I don't get how anyone can find a bunch of cars driving around in a circle to be entertaining. I've heard the noise of the cars is fun and the crashes are even more fun but this doesn't change the fact that these guys drive hundreds of miles in a row in a circle. I don't see what is entertaining about that.
If you like NASCAR, good for you - I'm happy you've found something that makes you happy.
In my redneck community though, very few people even care if an event is on so this idea that just because someone is a country-boy that they are going to really excited about NASCAR is totally wrong. This was never a part of my upbringing or a part of my life at any point in my life.
I will probably never watch a NASCAR event and if I won tickets to go see them I would probably give them to someone else.
