HEY RED STATES! THANKS FOR KEEPING ME IN THE DARK ABOUT THE NASCAR DRINKING GAME.

What’s a matter? You guys can’t pick up a phone to tell me that NASCAR season started. Thought we were friends. Oh and thanks for clueing me in about that NASCAR drinking game. I had to google it. Fine! Be that way! Just don’t expect a holiday card from me. And to all other blue staters that feel left out too, here is the game (courtesy of Jason Woods) …

What you need:

- Generous amount of beer

- TV

- Friends

- NASCAR event

NASCAR drinking game rules:

Every one chooses a car. Whichever car wins, the losers have to drink the same number of the sips as the driver’s number. Everyone also needs to drink every time these words are mentioned…Aero push, tire(s), fuel, pit, tight, loose, lap(s), track, turn, car(s), car company name ( ford chevy etc. ), the name of any track.

Also take a sip if the following occurs…

- there is is a yellow flag

- there is a wreck (drink a sip for every car involved)

- a car’s tire bursts.

GAME TIP: To raise the game stakes increase the number of sips for any of the above tasks.
