The term NASCAR dad refers to a male, white, usually middle-aged, working-class or lower-middle-class, and often rural. The group received this nickname because they are men who are believed to typically enjoy watching NASCAR racing, or comparable high-impact sports (football, professional wrestling).
NASCAR dads tend to be more conservative both socially and economically. Their ideals tend to favor the Republican Party[1]; however, the Democratic Party often tries to appeal to NASCAR dads,[2] The term was made more popular in the 2004 United States Presidential Election, as a companion term to soccer mom. Yet another constituency, this group was heavily courted by the Republican Party.
