Currently there are five PRO nascar posts:

  • I invite everyone to turn on the NASCAR TV broadcast
  • NASCAR crew members help fix a car’s bumper after it was involved in a fender bender across from the garage area on Lake Shore Drive
  • Unpopular Opinion, but i think the NASCAR races will be awesome
  • OK Chicago,this Nascar thing is fun, Now do Formula 1
  • This checks out…(Randy Sax guerilla marketing link)

and three ANTI nascar:

  • Meanwhile, we’re doing 15mph on 90/94
  • Worker dies while setting up Chicago NASCAR race
  • Chicago’s Nascar Weekend Offers Headaches, Little Economic Gain

Two of the pro-nascar posts are obvious guerilla marketing (the “LSD pit crew repair” post and whatever that Randy Sax thing is). One of the Anti-articles is just news about an unfortunate event.

I think Nascar has hired social media PR/sock puppet groups to astroturf Chicago reddit. I wonder if it’s the same people Paul Vallas hired…

    I agree with your sentiment but this is Chicago, my lemon. Corrupt mayors doing corrupt things to benefit themselves and their friends is very on-brand.
