Cocktails and Confetti: N.A.S.C.A.R.

Not. A. Single.Care. And. Rednecks

Well folks I survived another NASCAR race. And this year may have been the best race yet!

So for those of you who don't know, I am by NO MEANS a NASCAR fan. I think it's dumb to watch cars race around a track for hours on end. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be caught dead racing around a track at 100+ mph, I absolutely respect the drivers however I have very little respect for the fans and therefore not a single care is given at NASCAR (oh and there are a lot of rednecks)

This year I went with a fabulous group of ladies, my roommate and two of our good friends. Now the two friends were NASCAR virgins, had never been to a race before but they were on board to get a little redneck and trashy. So we dressed in what we think is redneck and trashy which consisted of jorts, cowgirl boots, and of course sported something american and a little trashy. See pictures below.

We started our morning off with several rounds of mimosas, country music and a pretty hilarious cab ride to the track *side note - I had recently watched Spice World - the Spice Girls movie that is on Netflix and my new favorite thing to do is speak only in Spice Girl lyrics - so as we are driving to the track windows down, mimosas in our systems, we decided it was a brilliant idea to yell things out the window such as "girl power", "every boy and every girl spice up your life", and "if you wanna be my lover you gotta get with my friends". Obviously not the brightest idea we have ever had but definitely one of the most awesome...

Now let me clear something up - as I mentioned before I have no interest in actually watching the race, so we never buy tickets we simply love to tailgate. So the four of us arrived at the track with our cooler full of beer and ready to rage. After taking a necessary bathroom break (to break the seal - which is always the worst!) we cracked another round of beers and were on the hunt for a kick ass tailgate to get the party started!

Now people let me tell you the reason I love NASCAR - you have thousands of people outside, drinking, getting a little weird, grilling out, listening to music, and just being all around awesome. Everyone is in the best mood, willing to share food and booze and party hard all day and into the night. This is the breeding ground for a good time..and my friends and I took full advantage of it. We like to "tailgate hop"- we bop around from tailgate to tailgate seeing what kind of food, booze, and boys we can score. Through out the day we probably hit up around 10 tailgates, made some new friends, played some games, exchanged some numbers, drank, drank, and then drank a little bit more.

The festivities ended for my group around 5ish (because we had another party to go to that night) but leaving is ALWAYS the hardest part. You become attached to this scene and no one ever wants the party to end! Needless to say my group is already for the next time NASCAR comes to town...

And for your enjoyment some pictures from the event on Saturday..
