This is a good thread about why influencers and celebrities attending racing events is good for the sport and individual racing series.
Lots of good points in that thread. If you're only inviting people from the same crowd then those are the only people that you will reach. Crossing over to other fields helps growth.
You absolutely don't have to know anything about racing in order to be a fan. Everyone that is a fan is automatically a real fan. There should no qualifiers.

I work in racing and I write and present about racing but I'm pretty terrible with history and stats unless I do specific research for a project because I'm more interested with the technical side and the people that are around now but that doesn't make me any less passionate.
That all goes back to this point. Just be kind. That's it.
There are 2,047,389 people that have liked Megan Thee Stallion's insta post from COTA so far. Engagement on insta is around 15% on the conservative end of estimates so there were likely at least 13 million people that viewed that post and the cashapp tag.
That cashapp tag leads to this page and this post with Verstappen and the car which has 57k views on its own and doesn't count the people that might have looked up the F1 car they saw in the background of the original post. instagram.com/p/CVTZ4UMjUpc/
A little clarity on the earlier quoted tweet.
This is an excellent example of the gatekeeping nonsense that stunts growth in motorsport. The racing series or team should prep the PR team of a visiting celebrity or influencer. Not the other way around.

I am sure this will evolve into "it was all a joke and y'all are talking about me now" after getting ratioed but I will just say that kindness goes much farther and that racing is for everyone.

Quick thread on my first visit to @MillbridgeRacin for the @Walkapedia_ Carolina Midget Showdown.
The main parking area was full by the time I got to @MillbridgeRacin so had to enter the back lot which felt like I was going on an adventure.
It was interesting to see the paddock layout and the interactions of the competitors once inside.

I'm planning to head over to @MillbridgeRacin later today to check what the @Walkapedia_ Carolina Midget Showdown is all about.
@MillbridgeRacin @Walkapedia_ I am very new to all of this so maybe someone can point @NAUSECAR in the right direction?
Made it to over to @MillbridgeRacin to check out the @Walkapedia_ Carolina Midget Showdown but have no cell signal and was only able to grab 30 minutes of the wifi so updates might not post until I leave.

NASCAR just announced that @DaleJr and @ClintBowyer will test the Next Gen car at Bowman Gray tommorow.

I have requested to attend and will try share some perspectives like I did at the recent Roval test.
Update: @TonyStewart is driving for the test while @DaleJr and @ClintBowyer will be driving it later in the day for broadcast knowledge.
The Bowman Gray Next Gen test tommorow is not open to fans but I am sure that there will be plenty of ways for y’all to follow along online.

Pizza can be eaten with a knife and fork. I will often eat Neapolitan pizza that comes uncut with a knife and fork or rip it into pieces if I don’t have a knife.
It is appropriate that I made the above tweet as I was waiting for a pizza.
I also got salad so it was a balanced meal.

I wish that NASCAR wasn’t racing at the same exact time as F1 and was running immediately after the F1 race instead so they wouldn’t be competing for viewers and instead picking up more fans after NASCAR related segments on the F1 broadcast.
You are absolutely correct that the ship has sailed because there should be a plan to work together and not see each series as competitors from the start. It’s not like F1 races in the US every week.
The most noticable factor that I’ve seen is that there was a decent amount of coverage about NASCAR in the F1 pre-race broadcast and of course stuff like the Danny Ric drive but it seems like there is almost ban on NASCAR people talking F1.

The exchange between Brundle and the bodyguard for Megan Thee Stallion.
The response from Brundle to the blonde guy in the entourage plus the shrug.
The people in the entourage were a little rude but the celebs don’t owe anything to the broadcaster just for being able to walk the grid.
