I have watched the race at Charlotte Motor Speedway from the pits, the grandstands, the suites, in the infield on an elevated couch on turn one and from the roof of the National Tailgating League's motorcoach.
And then there’s the time I somehow ended up in Michael Waltrip’s motorcoach learning the Hannah Montana Ho Down Throw Down from his 13-year-old daughter. As well as in the Budweiser’s RV where the shower doubled as an elevator, which just so you know, will squirt water on you if you touch the shower head, which I learned the hard way.
Yet, the best place to watch the race (or drink while it’s going on) is the Red Bull Energy Station at turn three. Between the leather lawn couches, DJ, catering, cocktail waitresses and bartenders and big screen TVs airing race footage — they turn NASCAR into CLASS-CAR. And with the free flowing Red Bull and vodkas, Red Bull gives you more than wings ... it gives you a buzz! That, or the roar of the exhaust pipes that's so loud ear plugs are an essential accessory. I feel like they should invent a sign language for racing so that people can better communicate at the track.
Red Bull drivers Scott Speed and Brian Vickers tend to make pit stops in Class-Car as well ...
Between Speed Street, the Pit Crew Challenge, the National Tailgating League, the NASCAR Hall of Fame festivities and just Whisky River in general, when the NASCARnival comes to town it's a carnival of nightlife … but the biggest party is at the track, at the Red Bull Energy Station to be exact. I even got a little sun while I was at the track - cue to the red sunburn on the back of my neck. Does that officially make me a redneck?
