Nascar as far as the south goes there are two types of men, rednecks and good ole boys. Rednecks enjoy nothing better than to get drunk and get in a fight, win or lose they have a good time, they are also bigots and tend to have low IQ's. Stick with the good ole boys, they are friendly as long as you do not start faking a southern accent, or make fun of southern accents. A good ole boy will give you the shirt off thier back to help you out, a redneck will take the shirt off your back. White pickups usually do have a brown stripe down the drivers side, chew! Respect the ladies, even a good ole boy will kick your rear for disrespecting a lady. You will find everyone friendly as long as you are respectful. Chivalry still lives in the south. Talking about the war is okay as long as you know who REALLY won, it is still a secret to northerners. Try to learn how to chew or at least dip. Hats are mandatory, preferably in black with the #3 on it. Learn to like Hank Williams, Sr. & Jr. As mentioned never order hot tea unless in a chinese resteraunt and you better like sweetened tea, it is the only way it comes. Other than what others have mentioned there is very little taboo in the south.
