Daytona 500 Butts

[SmokeyLee15]

Giant Eagle had two for one Boston’s Butts so I picked up a few for the race. The race was postponed for what felt like 16 hours but the pork won the day. Smoked at 225, stalled at 160. At 165 I wrapped with foil until IT hit 205. Spritzed with apple cider vinegar a few times during smoke. Let rest and make a jalapeño/cilantro slaw. Took about 8 hours, didn’t know what to expect considering it was my first time with pork butts. Memphis rub, turned out great!

Great looking butt's

I normally have people over for the 500 and the other big races but with all these new drivers and the way Nascar has folded to certain minority groups I decided I'm done with them for good. Sure I'll watch a few races because they are like taking a sleeping pill with a few shots of Jack to me and I love a good nap.
But I won't make a party out of the races anymore, watching 18- 20yr old kids smashing up high dollar nearly identical cars isn't my idea of good racing. And I knew the race was going to get cut up because of the weather this yr, why they even started it is beyond me all they did was destroy some great cars to save face with the TV network.

I want to try for more bark next time, I imagine that I need to trim a little bit of the fat off to achieve that.

Looks good to me. The race is secondary to the food. Race... Yawn lame lets go back to 2001 racing. Not this watered down crap. Long live #3.

2001 was just as lame, lets get back to when teams had a little wiggle room to make their car the best it could be. 1970s-1980s &1990s were fun to watch it was before Nascar went soft for TV ratings.

Lost interest in NASCAR a few years ago. Still love good Q though, and those butts look great!

I’m with no boundaries on this. NASCAR can shove it.

Looks great! I don’t worry much about bark on butts since I am pulling it all.

I honestly did not realize that there was a race on yesterday. Like others have said, I'm DONE with NASCAR and I have been to many, many races in my time, but never again.

Anywho, the pork looks great whatever the occasion....

Nascar is off my radar ever since they went to stage 1 , stage 2 , etc.I

Nice looking butts tho...

 

[yankee2bbq]

YEAP! Great job on the pulled pork! Looks good!

 

[JLeonard]

Dang good looking butts! Is NASCAR still a thing? Havent watched in years. All the cookie cutter cars, the crazy rules, and etc turned me off years ago.

Looks like a great cook and the red flag gave your guest more time to focus on the Q !

Speaking of Daytona. I did DVR the Rolex 24 hours at Daytona. Now THAT was a fun race to watch! Even my wife got into it.

Back to Q.

Great looking Pulled Pork and Butts. As for NASCAR, I have more enjoyment watching the folks "drive" on I-20 when they come into a live road construction site going from 70 to 55 mph zone jockeying for position at 70+ mph with ramp entries/exits and SCHP sitting on the side.

Man, all you guys dumping NAPCAR, can't say as I blame you, it's like WWF on asphalt, come on over to Indycar, (we got room for you) always exciting and the season championship without any gimmicks
