Am I allowed to put Nascar in the interest section of my resume?

What do you see when you imagine a nascar fan? You probably shivered. I enjoy watching cars go in circles it's a big part of my life. But I don't want to be denied by Becky. Thanks for you attention on this matter!

Lolll i have it in mine, ppl brought it up in interviews. Be yourself, people are going to ask you about your interests and you want to be genuine. 

Follow up though, can i have the boondocks in my interest section, I've left it off because yk not the most professional show.

are you recruiting up north or in south. big difference

North, but youll come across ppl originally from the southeast who definitely grew up around the sport. I think most ppl have a faint idea of nascar as racing in circles, but if you come across someone familiar with it, it def could b something you could jam about. Just choose interests that represent you which u could talk about. i dont think anyone cares that much ive seen ppl whove had random niche interests on their resumes so youre good— no one is going to ding you on an interest unless its inappropriate.

Boondocks on your resume will almost never help you
