Will gas prices affect how you follow Nascar?

Question

Will you go to more or less races in the future?

Answer 1

My tickets are already bought for both N H races ( about 41/2 hour drive one way for me) and also for the August Bristol Race About 16 hour drive one way,  the price of gas will not stop me from going.

Answer 2

hahahaha this is a funny question.

Answer 3

I try to make at least 2 races a year.  2006 we went to 4, last year we went to 2, and this year we have already been to 2.  Planning one more I think, probably Richmond in the fall if I can find tickets.  I usually stick to the tracks I can get to in less than 4 hours i.e. Bristol, Martinsville, Charlotte.  Gas prices really haven't affected my NASCAR life....yet!

Answer 4

Nope.  I don't have a local track.  The closest one is Vegas.  So I'll be watching Jeff stay in the chase from the comfort of home.

Answer 5

I'm leaving for Dover tomorrow, as usual every year. Given the price of the tickets ($100+ each), hotel for the weekend ($150 per night) and food, a tank of gas is almost insignificant.

Answer 6

Not really living out here in Calif, I normally have to fly to most races.. #18 Rowdys World, Fontana race is end of August this, and its suppose to be even hotter than last yr..Gas will be close to $5.00 a gallon by then, theres already places out here where premium is hitting $4.59... Gas Pricies is not going to put a stop on me going to races, but it sure has limited my driving for trips I do not need.. I filled up my car yesterday, use to take $18.00 now its $26.00, but it could be worse the guy in front of me $172.00 to fill up his Suburban, and he said it wasn't even empty...OUCH!!

Answer 7

it's not gas prices that determine it - it's how hot it is around labor day.  the fontana race is not that exciting in the winter, but it's definitely not worth it at 140 degrees trackside.

Answer 8

Oh you know there will be dummies sacrificing the electric bill and telephone for a good weekend at the track.

Answer 9

I don't get to go to the races as I am working all the time but I think if people want to go they are going to they are just going to have to pick and choose the ones they go to and crunch some numbers

Answer 10

No. I only go to the Bristol races. The track is very close to my house so I will still go.

Answer 11

go to 2  a year so no its not going to effect it

Answer 12

Answer 13
