Tailgating is a big part of any outdoor American sporting event and a facet of the utmost importance at a southern NASCAR race.
Like the Christian religion that many NASCAR fans abide by, the tailgate has it's own trinity: drinking beer, eating copious amounts of red meat, and passing time with good company. In order to properly understand the NASCAR experience, we embraced the tailgate like seven-year-old at a McDonald's play structure.

After lubricating for three hours with hamburger grease and cheap beer, we walked down the Yellow-brick road towards the Food City 500.

SOOOOO GOOOD. Loving it...I noticed one of those beers being shotgunned. What's tailgating without cigars, steaks, and shotgunned Busch.
Hilarious. Psyched for what lies ahead. N-A-S-C-A-R, that spells love, buddy.
It's a great way to spend one Sunday, with beer, friends and good food. I think we're a great country with nice events and we can't change that, each picture was fantastic, specially the last one.
