NASCAR WCUP: Pennzoil Team's 10 Favorite Places To Hang Out On The NASCAR Circuit

18 August 1999

Everyone who travels the NASCAR Winston Cup Circuit has their favorite
racetracks to visit, just like they have their favorite places to visit
after the garage closes. When you are on the road more than 33 weeks a year
you get to sample the nightlife all over America. This is an unscientific
pole conducted by the #1 Pennzoil team to determine just where some of the
top nightspots are in the country.

10. Sheraton Hotel Bar - Dover, Del. 	
		With most teams staying within a few miles of this place
it's usually wall-to-wall people. Sometimes even the truck drivers will do
karaoke songs just to keep the crowd down.

9. Dutch Inn - Collinsville, Va. 
		Doesn't have much competition for the nightlife around
Martinsville, but this is the only place you can hear ACDC followed by disco
music. 

8. Embassy Suites - San Rafael, Cal.	
		Free food and drink in the afternoons, two televisions in
each room, close to San Francisco, close to wine country, and close to the
track. 

7. Anywhere In Las Vegas	
		Only place teams would like to test more often.

6. Hogs & Heifers - New York City	
		If you get tired of the suit and tie crowd at the Waldorf
Astoria this is the place to visit. A motorcycle hangs from the ceiling, a
jukebox sits in the corner, women's brassieres and animal heads adorn the
walls. They'll cut off your tie if you wear one.

5. Lulu's Bait Shack - Atlanta 	
		Site of the year-ending unofficial media party in Buckhead.
Most stories during Atlanta weekend begin with "We were at Lulu's last
night...."

4. Slippery Noodle - Indianapolis	
		Indiana's oldest blues bar in downtown with bands in three
rooms. Makes for a great excuse for being late to the track the next day. 

3. Red Bone Alley - Florence, S.C. 
Good food and lots of big screen televisions to watch the NCAA basketball
tournament.

2. Naswa - Gilford, N.H.
		Has a great restaurant, a great beach, cool summertime
weather, cozy cabins and everyone talks funny. 

1. Ocean Deck - Daytona Beach, Fla	
		Loud Reggae music, beach volleyball, only a few feet from
the ocean, and not much of a dress code.
