Thats the name of the bar I was hanging out at last night, and will continue to hang out all weekend. Its the bar at the National Tailgating League (NTL) in Bristol, Tenn. and Virginia. The NTL is presented by Budweiser, but created by Todd Hirschfeld with HMS Worldwide. Now that tailgating has its own league, it is officially a sport and the NTL is the Olympics of Cornhole.
There is Miss Sprint in NASCAR, and theres Miss NTL... and I am proud to say that I am currently wearing the Cornhole crown. Hence the reason I am in Bristol. Ill be introducing Craig Morgan on the Earnhart Campgrounds stage on Saturday before the race. In honor of his most popular song, I am going to introduce myself as an officer in the Redneck Yacht Club on Lake Norman.
Apparently, golf carts are a traffic violation in Bristol because I got pulled over in one. The cop did not pull us over in a car nor did he track us down on a motorcycle, horse or segway we got pulled over by a cop on foot. And although there was no alcohol involved, I was able to answer the question I posed in a previous article about golf tournaments can you get a DUI on a golf cart. Yes, you can. Meanwhile, I got invited to the traditional NASCAR Hauler parade and I told them I aint no holla back girl.
Bristol was so crowded it was like playing a carnival game trying to get through all those people without running them over. So I invented a horn for a golf cart - and it's more polite than the standard meep-meep horn. I just screamed "EXCUSE MEEP!" And it was effective, not only did people get the hell out of the way, but they smiled while doing so.
I always said NASCAR races are like Woodstock for rednecks well apparently the cultures are colliding because there was a guy at the Port-A-Party rocking a mullet and jamming out on a guitar like a homeless hippie in San Francisco. I haven't yet decided if the main entertainment at a NASCAR race is the actual race, or the fans.
The NTL Port-A-Party will be at the Budweiser tailgating tent at the Panthers game.
