The old saying of stock car racing was “Race on Sunday, sell cars on Monday.” Since then, NASCAR has evolved from cars straight off of the showroom floor to proprietary cars designed specifically for competition in a NASCAR race.
Now that the cars are merely race cars with stock looking elements to them, the question must be asked. Does brand loyalty to manufacturers still matter to an average fan? NASCAR Reddit set out to answer that question.

Obviously this Reddit thread is not exhaustive by any means, but it shows that manufacturer loyalty is a big factor to some. Even though the face of the sport has changed over the years, and the cars are a far cry from traditional “stock cars”.
