Daytona 500 goodies.

[normanaj]

Yup I'm one of those people.

So far it looks like rock crabs,wings and pork loin.

The only thing so far prepped is the pork loin.It s swimming in a low salt brine with the main liquid once again being Ocean Spray Cranberry/Blackberry 100%.1 cup juice/1cup water and an 1/8th cup salt.This will bath until Sat. morning and then sit in the fridge until smoke time with nothing more than a lite coating of spog.

Crabs will be steamed in nothing more than garlic and habenero powder.

Wings are just wings.Smoked and then finished on the Q.They'll be tossed in Melindas Red Savina sauce.What I do afterwards is up to me...

Nope stopped watchin the second they rolled the BLM car out onto pit road for some smollett lie. 40 years I watched NASCAR... Just like NFL and NBA, MLB pandering to criminals doesn't get my vote. GL with the cooks though interested in seeing what you put out.

Not sure if I will fire up the smoker for the 500. Ah who am I kidding haha. Probably ribs and chicken so I am not out there all day.

If you saw the Clash out in LA that was a pretty cool race. Ice Cube had that place on fire during the break. And the short track racing was legit. I really enjoyed it.

@neoglien I dont want to get political but I have a solution for BLM.
Send them to Texas. We will fix things in their minds they didnt know were broken.

Mods, sorry not sorry if I am out of line for this forum.

I record the races, skip the intro and cheer when the #23 gets wrecked...

 

[daveomak]

Just to be clear... "When the #23 wrecks I cheer like the time Kenseth crushed the #22 into the wall.. Up on my feet... Fist pumping... Stuff like that...

 

[Fueling Around]

Great food spread.
I've got a mini pork shoulder and small pork belly to smoke this weekend just because
Stopped watching theater sports many years ago.

 

[Brokenhandle]

I might just black flag your wings...and eat them! Sounds like a delicious meal plan!

[yankee2bbq]

YEAP! That meal plan sounds great!

 

[Colin1230]

Weather is supposed to be nice here on Sunday so I will be cooking something for the race just not sure what yet. I'm really interested in the new generation car with the trans axle independent rear suspension. A lot better balanced race car. Also hope Brad Kesslowsky does well with his new RFK race team.

The duals were pretty bad racing but have to see what a huge pack does compared to a half pack 2nd race was pretty boring. Did they not have fans there i saw 0 people in the stands when th4ey decided to show em at all.

 

[normanaj]

When Davey Allison was killed I had to ask myself "now what"?Then I saw that 24 on the track at Atlanta in '92 and I instantly was "That's my new guy".And when Gordon retired I lost enough interest to finally dump cable and miss half the races and admittedly the whole noose stupidity with Wallace soured me.But when Nascar was doing the whole E-racing thing in '20 and Ganassi canned Larson I was once again saying "That's my new guy!" and he comes back with Hendrick and wins 10 races and a cup.

 

[mfatty500]

Not a big fan of that 500, the real race series starts next weekend in St. Pete, the grand-daddy is just 100 days out...

 

[GATOR240]

Used to be a diehard NASCAR fan. Had season tickets to Bristol for many years, and have been to Pocono several times, Richmond, Martinsville and Charlotte. Like normanaj , when my favorite driver (-Sterling Marlin-) retired, I really started to lose interest as I couldn't find a new "favorite" driver. And, as NASCAR started to make their changes, lost interest. I will tune in if nothing is going on, but I havn't watched a full race in several years. I really miss all of the great times my family and I had, and all of the friends that we made over the years of going to the races......... Sorry to hijack ...........Sounds like some great food is going to be enjoyed!

 

[normanaj]

Getting ready to chow.Pork loin,wings/fries and crabbage!

 

[Brokenhandle]

I could go for some crabbage for sure!!
