There's no loyalty like that exhibited by motorsports fans, evidenced by a recent ESPN Sports Poll.

NASCAR tops the list as the favorite type of motorsports according to fans polled from January-December 2005. It received 59.5% of the votes compared to the next-highest total of 13.4% for the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). Following in third place were motorcycle events at 9.7, the Indy Racing League (IRL) with 6.1, Formula 1 with 6.3, Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) with 1.4 and other racing series at .04.

NASCAR also led the 2004 version of the ESPN Sports Poll, with fans sampling conducted from January through February of that year.

In the 2004 poll, NASCAR led with 57.6% of fans' response, followed by the NHRA with 13.9, motorcycle events with 9.8, the IRL with 6.8, Formula 1 with 6.0, CART with 1.8 and other racing series at 0.5.
