Subject: which of these 2 is better known

Written By: gord on 05/16/05 at 4:15 pm

Even if you've never watched a race and never plan to, I'm curious to know which of these 2 is more of a household name, worldwide. Thanks :)

I've watched both of them since I was around 10...I like them both and think thier both about the same popularity wise ;)

Cool Mark thanks, I'd like to hear from some non-racing fans too to get an idea which is a more recognized name :)

I have heard of both, but the daytona 500 is the main one I hear mentioned.
My hubby and son watch once in awhile.

Indy 500, only because it's in Indy. And the Brickyard 400 is more popular than the Daytona 500 in this state, too.

I have heard of both of them but would say that I heard about the Daytona 500 first

This suprised me, from England I would have thought the opposite. Thanks for doing your survey :)

And thanks to everyone for giving me their thoughts on this :) I would have thought that Indy would be a better known race, especialy outside of the US.

Indy.  I am not a racing fan, but when I was little my dad and I lived in Ohio.  We went to the Indy 500.  I don't remember much about it, though.
