Lance Mackey, dog musher, winner of both the Iditarod and the Yukon Quest, back to back, was asked if sled dog racing has groupies:
"Oh, absolutely. They fly all over and chase us around. It's pretty cool, but I also wonder sometimes, why? Why?"
And for such a solitary sport he makes a point of mingling with the fans:
"Myself, I interact, I talk and entertain, so to speak. It's important to me to get the fans to like me, because without them, we wouldn't really have a sport."
