NASCAR vs Country Music
Uncategorized
Hmmmm...great comparison. The CMA has done an admirable job bringing along young talent that not only appeals to the younger fans...but also has popularity among the older country music fans.I remember....though...my father who was a huge nascar fan (early nascar) and a country music fan (Conway Twitty, Buck Owens, Roy Accuff, Chet atkins, Johnny Cash)...telling me Garth brooks would never make it...he also said the same thing about Dale Earnhardt Sr. He couldn't stand Brooks...and he despised the driving style of Earnhardt.Both entities have experienced huge growth. I think one difference is that NASCAR was not initially viewed (by many fans) as entertainment. Now it is very clear NASCAR is focussed almost entirely on the entertainment value of the sport.
