Diverse and Surprising Leisure Preferences Revealed
In Study of Single NASCAR Enthusiasts


Surprise! Single NASCAR fans prefer Baseball to some other motor-sports including Indy Car, and Motorcycle races.

A study conducted by www.meetmeattheraces.com, the free singles dating website catering to the nation’s 75-million NASCAR enthusiasts and those who want to meet them, also showed a strong affinity for concerts, movies, nightclubs and travel.

The study examined multiple leisure preferences indicated by a sampling of more than 400 single men and women from 42 states who joined meetmeattheraces.com between Valentine’s Day and June 8, 2008.

Sports car races selected by 60% of the members, was the preferred motor-sport after NASCAR. However, meetmeattheraces.com members enjoy Baseball (33%) more than Indy Car races (28%), Motorcycle races (28%), Motocross (23%) and American Le Mans races (10%). Cooking is a favorite activity of 46% of the NASCAR fans belonging to meetmeattheraces.com while concerts and movies are preferred by 57% of the members. Travel and sightseeing are preferred by 53%.

Traditional outdoor leisure activities are also popular with singles. Camping was selected by 49% as a preferred activity while 42% selected fishing and hunting.

Not hot with single NASCAR fans are skiing (9%) and snowmobiling (10%). In fact, Arts and Museums rated more highly (14%) than winter sports. Politics rank near the bottom with only 8% expressing interest.

"The survey reveals that NASCAR fans are multi-dimensional with diverse interests that make them stimulating companions.” said Steve Agins, owner of Meetmeattheraces.com. “Other singles may find compatibility with enthusiasts sharing many other interests even if NASCAR racing isn’t familiar to them. For many, an ideal first date is a walk in the park or a barbeque, rather than spending money in an expensive nightclub. Of course the perfect first date according to our members is to attend a NASCAR race or watch one on television with a companion who shares their interests.”

IS ATTRACTING SINGLE NASCAR LOVERS

Free T-Shirt for members joining early

Singles who thrill to the sounds of big engines and the sight of racing cars can log on to www.meetmeattheraces.com, the first dating website dedicated to racing and romance – just in time for the start of the NASCAR racing season in February.

Racing enthusiasts who want to meet like-minded singles may be surprised to learn that throughout the nation, on weekend days and nights, stadiums are packed with eligible fans – many of them single – cheering on their favorite auto racing heroes.

Meetmeattheraces.com offers singles many ways to identify and make contact with each other. The site’s low $30.00 charter year membership fee entitles members to search the year’s race schedule for others who live near any of the 30 major auto race tracks in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Members can also indicate their interest in attending any of 90+ major scheduled races during the 2008 season, including: the NASCAR Sprint Cup events, NASCAR Nationwide races and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races.

Here’s how meetmeatheraces.com works. Search capabilities reveal lists of those people who live near or who indicate an interest in attending the same events. The website provides a system for members to reach out to each other electronically. In addition to finding the nearest race tracks and determining interest in particular races, members may search for compatible soul mates using dozens of additional criteria and personal preferences. Meetmeattheraces.com has teamed with Hotels.com to offer a special listing of NASCAR cities for those traveling to the races.

Enthusiasts of stock car racing tend to be male (60%) between the ages of 18 and 44, slightly younger than national averages, with slightly higher incomes than the general U.S. population with 41% earning $50,000 per year; 46% earning $30,000 to $70,000, and 12% earning between $70,000 and $100,000 each year, according to NASCAR statistics.

With a fan base of 75-million people, or one in three US adults, NASCAR is the number two rated sport on television, according to statistics published on its website.

The NASCAR stadiums provide countless opportunities for members of meetmeattheraces.com to pre-arrange a rendezvous. Live audiences flock to such stadiums as Indianapolis Motor Speedway (capacity 314,980); Daytona International Speedway, Florida (167,785), Lowes Motor Speedway in Concord North Carolina (167,000), and Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan (136,373).
