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…

Astroturfing has become endemic to reddit. If a given subreddit has more than like 5k subscribers, you can assume someone is probably trying to sell something on it - if not a product then a brand or idea. I hope ActivityPub platforms are successful but not so much that they get polluted with that crap.
