==Culture==

All the while, NASCAR's culture has been intricately shaped by its conservative American roots. Nowadays, it is a common activity for fans to trek to races with their RVs and tailgate on an oval track's infield. It is common for the owners to put up a tall flagpole to fly a flags of their favorite driver along with that of the Confederacy. This practice has drawn criticism as African-American drivers have begun to enther the NASCAR ranks, but has remained due to the strength of NASCAR's roots in the American South. During his 2004 reelection campaign, President George W. Bush recognized NASCAR's impact on conservative America by visiting the Daytona 500 to draw the votes of "NASCAR dads". Conversely, NASCAR has also made its own contributions to conservative American culture: bumper stickers of a driver's number can often be seen on the back of their fans' cars, especially the famous #3 of Dale Earnhardt and the #8 of his son.
