My raceday ritual is always the same. I always our race room full of snacks and refreshments. The big screen tv with surround sound tuned into Speed for pre-race and let the fun begin when the race starts! I always make sure there is a MAX experience for everyone who comes over to enjoy the race

Depending whether we are at the track for the race or at home, we always MAXimize our race day traditions. If we’re at the track, tailgating is a must! Always trying out new recipes and having fun with fellow race fans! While we are at home on race weekends, there is a group of us that we do different theme parties for each race. We have done anything from a Mexican fiesta Nascar party to Nascar pool parties. The next time it is our turn to host our turn to host our weekly Nascar party, no one knows, but they will be enjoying a Nascar themed wedding reception, as we are getting married at the track when we go to Bristol next month!!

Trying to win for my sister, she is a huge Jeff Gordon fan. Would love to surprise her.

I love to bring race day to the MAX by cooking a supper featuring foods from the area around the race track. Phoenix often means some sort of nachos (not necessarily Arizonian, but close enough), Miami Homestead might include Key Lime Pie, etc. I have a cookbook, “Best of the Best from All 50 States”, that I use often. Of course, for the Kentucky race, what else but Kentucky Fried Chicken? When our favorite driver, Bobby Labonte, drove the Banquet car, we would have a meal from the Banquet brand (which was not as yummy as something I made from scratch). Anyway—race day seems to revolve around food. (Maybe because I revolve around food!) Great contest, Amy!

I hope I don’t have to be a Gordon fan to win. I like Gordon, but Tony is my dude.

I have pretty much the same ritual each week. I wear whatever Tony shirt I had on when he either won a race or had a top 10. If he did horrible, that shirt goes to the back of the closet. During his 2nd championship run, I would only wear my Brickyard shirts. When he won his first Brickyard, I was wearing a Brickyard shirt. Because I played sports, I buy into all that superstious stuff. I also make sure I watch Race Day. I MUST listen to the Star Spangled Banner AND the command. I also have to set up my “command center” too (internet/radio/scanner). Without it, I cannot have an enjoyable race experience. Last thing before, I hunker down, I ask my youngest son, “What day is it?” he responds “Race Day!”. I then ask him “Who is gonna win?”. His response, “Tony Stewart”! When all of this is done, we are set to go. That’s about it. Nothing fancy…but I wore the same shirt through the last ten races last year and well Tony won 5 out of 10 races. I am just saying…

Note…I didn’t do all the ritual things last night and well…we all know how it turned out for Tony.
