Creating Your Perfect Daytona Campsite
IT’S TIME FOR THE 2009 NASCAR SEASON. Tickets to Daytona, Atlanta and Lowe’s Motor Speedway? Check. Favorite fan wear? Check – as evidenced by the Team Lowe’s jacket, Jimmie Johnson shirt and championship hat.
But how about that race weekend campsite? Is it worthy of a three-time champion?
With a little planning, fans can create a memorable experience that provides all the amenities of home and provides an excellent atmosphere for enjoying the race. It just takes a few staples – such as a cooking center, relaxation area, and team décor – to make the event special.
First, create a space to sit back and enjoy the weekend. The Steel Sling Folding Chairs and a portable hammock from Garden Treasures create a great area to hang out with friends. An outdoor sisal rug provides comfortable flooring for the area. Add a Garden Treasures Table Fire Pit, TIKI torches and festive lighting around the pop-up tent, and the stage is set.
Next comes cooking. Nothing is better than a burger on the grill, and the perfect grill for the job is the Charbroil Traditions Series gas grill, with double burners for any culinary task. Don’t forget the Blue Rhino propane from the local Lowe’s to heat up things.
For portable grilling, check out the Weber Q™ 120 portable gas grill and Weber Q™ rolling cart. This go-anywhere grill delivers an excellent cooking surface, while the cart folds out to create a stand for the grill, and folds down to serve as a caddy for the grill.
And like the Team 48 pit crew, the tools are important. Try a five-piece stainless grill tool set with comfort handles for perfect “pit stops”. So is keeping food cool, so don’t forget portable coolers with wheels.
Now comes the creativity. Check out www.LowesRacing.com for new merchandise to show your Team 48 style. Don’t stop with just flags and signage. Consider blue outdoor carpet to show your true colors, then coordinate with silver, blue and yellow accessories.
Then, sit back and relax to enjoy Team 48’s pursuit of a fourth NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
