There are a lot of sports that are trying to market themselves to a wide variety of audiences. And one of those audiences is "the family market". In this day and time Rudy Gobert Jersey , we don't see too many sports that are really family oriented, but more importantly, that the whole family would enjoy.

NASCAR has always had the reputation of being a family sport. Families seem to love it and can be involved in it together. For once, Mom is not shut out of sports talk. NASCAR estimates that 40% of their fan base is female. Mom has her favorite driver, dad has his favorite and the two have a friendly competition while sharing an interest and hobby. It's an activity you can do with your teenager without him thinking you are totally out of touch and that, as we all know, is priceless! Families can also watch races together on television without fear of inappropriate material searing their young children's eyes. And if you think that it is only something that the "South" loves, you would be surprised to find that 50% of NASCAR fans are "white collar". It has become a sport for all people and all families.

As the NASCAR Circuit has grown and worked to expand their markets and fan base, they have definitely experienced change throughout the years. When Brian France took the helm he made major alterations such as allowing hard liquor companies to sponsor cars and he also decided to drop Winston as a sponsor, effectively sending an "against tobacco" stance. He is the one responsible for dreaming up the Chase for the Cup, which has changed so much about the competition. Now they have brought in international drivers and there is talk of a female driver. But one thing that hasn't changed is that NASCAR wants drivers to be good role models. In October 2005, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. stepped out of line by using a mild curse word in Victory Lane. That action earned him a fine which in the end took him out of the running for the Cup.

Now I'm not saying that NASCAR racing is perfect and "lily white" clean. But in this day of greed, overexposure, loss of family values, and many more challenges, NASCAR seems to be working to keep it something that fans of all ages and all backgrounds can enjoy. As long as they keep that up, they will be successful with the family.

The bottom line is that NASCAR is family fun and that seems to have stayed the same year in and year out. We hope that it stays that way!

ROME, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- Italian economy would return to a timid growth in the last months of 2014 and finally emerge from recession with an output rise of 0.5 percent in 2015, economic think-thank Prometeia said.

The recovery would be sustained by euro's depreciation, expansionary policies and Italian exports, which are expected to reach pre-crisis levels between 2015 and 2017, the institute said in the Economic Outlook unveiled on Oct. 17.

"We expect Italy's economy to start growing again in autumn, but very mildly," Prometeia head of economic analysis and forecasting Stefania Tomasini told Xinhua.

"Considering the third quarter of 2014 will most likely be negative still, the GDP (gross domestic product) growth may be around 0.1 percent in autumn. For the end of this year, therefore, it is more accurate to speak of a 'halt in the GDP fall' rather than recovery," she specified.

Despite the positive variation, Prometeia said Italy's GDP would overall decrease 0.4 percent in 2014.

Italy would really pull out of recession in 2015 with a 0.5 percent growth, and recovery would then consolidate moderately. The country's output is expected to increase more than 1 percent in 2016 and 2017, respectively.

The depreciation of the euro against U.S. dollar and emerging-market currencies is considered a necessary condition for this forecast to be fulfilled, the think-thank said. A relatively weak euro would in fact boost Italian and European demand, and bring about a rise in Italian exports.

"The key factor for this breakthrough is the depreciation of the euro, which has decreased around 7 percent in value against the dollar since August," the report said.

Yet, favorable euro exchange rates alone would not be enough. Italy's prospects to emerge from recession would also depend deeply on national expansionary fiscal policies that were launched in 2014 and are due to be consolidated next year.

Prometeia Outlook therefore considered the possible impact of the 2015 budget law, which was presented last week.

"Out forecast took into consideration the likely effects of Italy's 2015 budget on the basis of what the cabinet has so far disclosed in its papers," Tomasini explained.

"This means expansive budgetary measures for about 12 billion euros (15.3 billion US dollars), which we expect to impact positively in terms of about 0.4 percent of GDP next year".

The institute predicted exports to increase 2.1 percent in 2014, contributing 0.5 percent to the GDP between 2015 and 2016. Overall, Italy exports would "drift towards pre-crisis levels" in the next three years, but still lagging behind those of Germany and, surprisingly, Spain.

According to Prometeia analyst, in fact, Spanish exports benefit from "an improved ability of the country to attract foreign investments and a larger presence of medium-sized firms" that Italy still lacks.
