• It’s not very common that fans seem to agree on a commercial being good. Marketing the sport is a hot topic amongst fans, drivers, and commentators alike. However, this one seems to be generally liked by the fanbase.
• It has been a topic of conversation amongst fans about how to market the sport of NASCAR. Is the best way to go on marketing purely to a “core” audience or is it putting NASCAR more out there to the mainstream audience? This commercial definitely seems to try to toe that line with Dale Earnhardt Jr. narrating, but also highlighting progress.
• NASCAR fans on Twitter were big fans of this commercial. They seemed to love what this commercial has to say and what it represents.

Around the Garage

It’s pretty rare that fans tend to agree on something in NASCAR especially when it comes to marketing. With this in mind, maybe this provides some insight into how NASCAR should promote in the future. How does NASCAR attract new fans while also holding on to old fans?
