In addition, it's been determined that the income distribution of NASCAR fans closely mirrors that of the overall U.S. population with 20% making less than $30,000; 25% making between $30,000 - $50,000; and 55% making more than $50,000.

In recent decades, the term "Redneck" has referred to bigoted, loutish reactionaries who are opposed to modern ways, and has often been used to attack white Southern conservatives. The term is used broadly to degrade working class and rural whites that are perceived by urban progressives to be insufficiently liberal. My question is: Is that how you meant to describe New Hampshire's NASCAR audience?

Very nice job rebutting the use of that term.
