]]> http://fordmustangdiecast.com/highway-61-diecast-cars-trucks-collector-models-sale-4/feed/ 0 Why is the Busch Series Racing in Mexico? http://fordmustangdiecast.com/why-is-the-busch-series-racing-in-mexico/ http://fordmustangdiecast.com/why-is-the-busch-series-racing-in-mexico/#comments Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:32:27 +0000 66GTVert http://fordmustangdiecast.com/why-is-the-busch-series-racing-in-mexico/ Starting in 2004, the Busch series held a race in Mexico City at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez track. This year will be the third year that NASCAR has been south of the border. What would motivate them to pick up a venue like that?
In 2005, it was estimated that one seventh of the population in the United States is Hispanic. This is a demographic that just hasn’t been turned onto stock car racing in the past. Mexico City can change that. But there has definitely been some resistance from the teams.
In the first Mexico City race, the prize money was so little that most teams didn’t break even. It’s expensive for your whole team to travel and especially expensive to transport the racecars.
Truthfully, for the first race, most teams made the race only because of the owner points which were awarded. Since that first race, the purse has grown and teams are more likely to come out having made at least some money.
Another reason that teams are traveling to the race is for their sponsors. One of the main rationales that the Mexico City race is considered so important is because there are so many international sponsors.
Many of the team’s sponsors, such as Lowe’s and Red Bull, already have a strong presence in both Mexico and the United States. Racing in Mexico increases the sponsor’s exposure. Several team owners have said that they wouldn’t choose to race in Mexico because of the added expenses but do so for their sponsors.
There was quite a lot of complaining when the race was first announced. Besides the expense, people were concerned about the safety issues of being in Mexico.
Carl Edwards says he looks forward to the race now but he was nervous about being in Mexico the first time, especially when he had to visit the hospital due to a crash during a practice round. However, his short hospital stay was great and he considers this race an exciting trip now.
The idea behind having an international race is that not only will it be a tool to hook Hispanics in the U.S. on NASCAR but will also open up a whole new audience of race fans in Mexico. So they are building a larger fan base two at a time.
NASCAR is determined to branch out into all parts of the world and become the most popular sport. We think they are well on their way to doing just that.

Europe started the tradition of setting speed records, but starting in the 1920s America started setting many of these speed records. In fact, most of these world records were being set in Daytona Beach.
That’s right, even in the early days car racing centered around Daytona Beach. Racing fans from all over the United States and the rest of the world started coming to Daytona Beach to watch the Daytona Beach road course. For those of you who don’t know you NASCAR, the Daytona 500 is the biggest race in NASCAR today.
As many know, stock car racing spawned out of America’s Prohibition period. The bootleggers needed fast cars to out run the police when they were transporting illegal whiskey throughout the south and in particular the mountains of Appalachia. These bootleggers started to modify their cars to increase their speed and performance. In order to out run the law, you needed to have a great car. And, as the bootleggers upped the ante, the police did so too. These suped up cars eventually turned into the stock cars that we recognize today. The real life game of cops and robbers turned into the sports that millions of Americans love today.
After the end of Prohibition in 1933, Americans did not want to give up their fast cars. Many Americans living in the South East of the United States started to set up races featuring their tricked out cars. Once these races started being held, the fans started pouring in to watch the car races. From this moment, stock car racing was born. The birth place of these early races was North Carolina. To this day NASCAR is huge in North Carolina.
Today, NASCAR is popular all across the country. While many of the nascar drivers still come out of North Carolina and Tennessee, many more are coming from states like California, New York and Indiana. No longer is the sport just enjoyed in the south. Cities like Philadelphia are now some of the largest markets for television viewers of the sport. Race tracks have been built in Las Vegas, New Hampshire and many non-southern states.
While the South East region of the United States was the birthplace of NASCAR, today the sport is loved throughout the county. Today there are race tracks all across America and it is the fastest growing sport in the country. Despite its regional roots, NASCAR is today the most popular sport in the United States. Every Sunday during race season, over 100,000 screaming fans show up to see the NASCAR drivers start their engines. Not bad for a bunch of bootleggers.

]]> http://fordmustangdiecast.com/early-history-of-nascar/feed/ 0 Sale of NASCAR Merchandise Soars Along With the Sports’ Growth http://fordmustangdiecast.com/sale-of-nascar-merchandise-soars-along-with-the-sports-growth/ http://fordmustangdiecast.com/sale-of-nascar-merchandise-soars-along-with-the-sports-growth/#comments Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:44:56 +0000 66GTVert http://fordmustangdiecast.com/sale-of-nascar-merchandise-soars-along-with-the-sports-growth/ From it’s humble roots in the South, NASCAR racing has grown to almost unbelievable popularity across the entire nation in recent years. From the first races run in 1948 to the current NEXTEL Cup and Busch series, NASCAR has become arguably the number one spectator sport in America, boasting 75 million loyal fans. And, interestingly, 40% of those are women and 53% work in white-collar or skilled labor jobs. The numbers continue to be impressive; annual attendance at races is over 7 million and upwards of 275 million Americans watch on television.

Those who follow the circuit attribute several factors to its’ success. One of those is a formula that no other spectator sport matches. Week in and week out, the best teams (drivers) are competing head to head against each other. Unlike, for instance the NFL, where you may have to wait weeks for that big matchup, you can watch number 1 versus number 2 every week. It’s almost like having the Super Bowl of this sport every week.

Years of tradition and a grass roots beginning are also given credit for the sport’s popularity. The origins of the sport in the “bootlegging” days and the humble background of many of it’s initial stars seems to be attractive to fans in this day of the spoiled, pampered, arrogant professional athlete.

All of this has led to big business. From television revenues to licensed merchandise sales, NASCAR is big business today. NASCAR merchandise sales now have exploded to exceed $ 2 billion annually and the markets continue to remain strong.

Race fans seem to have a huge appetite for merchandise that shows support for their favorite driver, whether it is by wearing NASCAR apparel, buying accessories for their car or truck, or even decorating their home. NASCAR wall clocks, desk clocks, even throw blankets, sheets and wall tapestries are showing up in homes everywhere.

Within this huge market, strong sub markets appear. NASCAR collectibles have become big just by themselves. A variety of items from plaques and autographed pictures to diecast cars are snatched up, partly due to popularity, but also in hopes of appreciation in value for the collectibles market.

While the NASCAR diecast part of the market has softened recently, it is still respectable in strength. As drivers change their paint schemes, it allows manufacturers to expand the products several times over in this niche and that helps keep sales moving.

Apparel such as NASCAR jackets, jerseys, t-shirts, etc appear to be growing in popularity as manufacturers roll out expanded products and are even including more high end items like leather jackets and specialty items like jewelry. The true fanatic can even outfit the entire family with recent introductions of complete NASCAR kids clothing and youth lines.

Where will it all end? I don’t believe we know, but when I see corporate secretaries wearing NASCAR hats and white collar managers wearing NASCAR shirts with pictures of “Junior” plastered on them, I question if there is a limit to this market.
