7. The Army alone spends $16 million a year at NASCAR events.
From The Nation 6/22/05.

-snip-

Then there's NASCAR. Our US military is spending millions of dollars a year recruiting young men at NASCAR races. As the Air Force's superintendent of motorsports said (according to the AP, that's actually his job, superintendent of motorsports), NASCAR is the military's "target market." The Army alone is spending $16 million a year at NASCAR events. Each branch of the Armed Forces sponsors NASCAR race drivers and they set up recruiting booths outside of NASCAR events.

-snip-


$16 million from the Army alone to NASCAR. More of our tax dollars hard at work.

I hope their "target market" wakes up.
