9. NASCAR RADIO FANS TURN DOWN THE TV
Example “Other” reasons:
When TV goes to commercial I can still know what the race is doing.
better field rundowns of positions
Like to listen to radio broadcast because they just don't talk about only a few of drivers. Less irritating.
action always happens and some stations dont break in commerical more important and the get to see a replay
sometimes hear things on radio that you don't on tv.
sometimes the TV announcers get side tracked, and the information they are giving means nothing to me at the time, I want to hear about the current race not the flat tire that took out the no name somebody two years ago in the same race!
they make it sound more exciting than it really is watching it live.
The MRN/PRN announcers are more concerned about what is going on out on the race track and not about shop news..we can get that stuff with all the other Nascar programs on TV..we want to hear the race!
Most of the time I turn down the sound when the race is broadcast on ESPN. I love it when it is on TNT the most but FOX is second.
Mostly when the races are on TNT
Only during Fox broadcasts

10. ‘SPONSOR DIVERSITY’ OF NASCAR IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT
There is not one sponsor category more predisposed to NASCAR advertising than another
Financial institutions, flower shops, furniture companies, jewelry retailers, insurance companies, and food chains (to name a few) find advertising in NASCAR radio to be profitable
NASCAR’s P1 listeners ARE predisposed to purchasing products advertised in their favorite sport
