Susan and I were in Charlotte this past weekend. Charlotte is the home of NASCAR racing and last weekend was the biggest race of the Fall season.
We went to breakfast in the hotel restaurant and the overwhelming majority of people in the restaurant were NASCAR fans. How can I make that statement? Everyone had a hat, shirt or jacket displaying their favorite NASCAR driver. So what could be so surprising about people in Charlotte, home of NASCAR going to the races later in the day and why would I write a blog about it?
They all were in their 60s and 70s.
This means that NASCAR will have the same future as Ballet, Opera, Orchestra's, the Williamstown Theater and horse racing: All of these will disappear in the next 15-20 years because the only people that attend these events are old and younger people do not share their interests.
Sad if you ask me.
