Posts under ‘Those Crazy Race Fans’

Charlotte race weeks are quickly approaching and that means teams are opening their doors for fan appreciation days and drivers are signing autographs throughout the region.
We here at TNI wanted to get all Charlotte bound fans prepared for the next two weeks, so we have compiled a list of events and things to do.
If you [...]

This may come as a shock to some of you, but I too was once just a race fan.  I looked forward every year to the maybe one or two races I’d get to attend and I would show up to the track wearing my allegiances proudly.  So as you continue reading what I’m about [...]

A NASCAR fan’s first race experience can be exciting, crazy, and maybe a little scary.  But it will certainly be something they will never forget.  We’ve been asked periodically by first time race goers to offer advice on what to do, what to see, what not to do, etc. when they attend their first big time [...]

No, I’m not talking about the ridiculously amazing show on HBO.  I’m talking about those that follow some drivers to each and every race.  Some are good, and some are not so good.  Either way, they are a reality in the sport because those at the top are young, well paid, and popular.

I swear, I have yet to find a group of fans, or people for that matter, that know how to party and express themselves better then NASCAR fans.  One only needs to take a walk through a camping area at a Cup race to discover this for themselves.  I can promise you it will be an [...]

One of the greatest and most enduring things about NASCAR is its fans. They are some of the most passionate, devoted followers in the sports world today.

I don’t know how many of our readers have been to a race (I’m hoping most if not all have), but if you are an inexperienced race fan, let me offer a tip: get a scanner at the track.  Whether you rent one trackside, or decide to purchase your own, you will not be disappointed.  [...]

Have you ever heard the one about how NASCAR staged Richard Petty’s 200th win? Or Dale Earnhardt’s 1998 Daytona 500 victory? They make up just a couple of the vast conspiracy theories that fans have formulated for decades. While the idea behind these two are simple, others are elaborate and verge on bizarre. The need to justify [...]

There isn’t a single hauler driver for a NASCAR team that hasn’t been asked at some point during his career “hey, whatcha got in there?”  They get hollered at on their CB radios, asked at truck stops, and questioned at rest areas.  We’ve had some interest here from site visitors about what exactly the haulers carry [...]
