Who are NASCAR voters? Well, the stereotype of conservative Southern rednecks is a bit outdated. Forty percent are women. More than half make $50,000 or less per year.

In other words, a reasonable cross-section of lower-middle or working-class Americans who live in places like, oh, I don't know, Iowa? Ohio? Virginia? North Carolina?

That demographic sounds a lot like the 47% of Americans who are victims unwilling to take personal responsibility for their lives.
