Not just NASCAR fans.
I’d tune in to see Trump do a lap in The Beast.
I might even stuck around to watch the race.
Note to NASCAR: Great marketing!

For me, it was an “acquired” interest. I never had any interest in NASCAR, couldn’t stand it on TV .... and then a friend invited me to a race. Oh boy .... those engines started up, the stands were rattling/shaking, & I was thinking ‘how in the heck are all those cars going to make it around this small track?’ Well, they did ... and even though we froze our patooties off (February race, a long time ago - now it’s in September), it was a fantastic experience. I went to a second race (with my own ear plugs) & loved it.
The result of all of this is that when I watch on TV, I KNOW what it’s like to be there in person & it carries over to the race. I now like watching on TV because #1 - no 30+ minute lines at the ladies room #2 you get replays when something happens #3 you get to see all the pit crew action (which I enjoy almost as much as the race) #4 you get great announcers (some being former drivers, etc.) and I enjoy their perspective & knowledge.
Anyway, I have been a NASCAR fan for a good while - I LOVE it that Trump will be there & I do hope he gets to make a lap ... the roar from the crowd should be incredible!!
