Nascar fans everywhere love this event, and a Daytona 500 party is almost a no brainer, but if you want to go all out, consider renting a big screen TV, and if the weather is good, you might even think about setting it up in the back yard. Nascar is the fastest growing sport in the country, and the best part is your Daytona 500 party can be uber casual and requires a minimum of effort to be a rousing hit.
Decorate with black and white checks and die cast cars to maintain the Daytona theme. Black and white balloons and caution tape work as well, especially if you have your party outdoors.
Outdoor Daytona 500 parties and cook outs go hand in hand. A large igloo cooler full of iced drinks, or kegs of beer and disposable cups keep with the Daytona theme (just remember to set up trash barrels near by) as do hot dogs on the grill.
For indoor parties, consider finger foods such as bite sized sausages simmering in crockpots of barbeque sauce, chips and veggies and dip, sandwiches (even a party sized sub from a local sub shop) or barbeque beef or pork can be made ahead of time, and kept warm in crock pots to be served on an as needed basis, and stash coolers with bottled or canned soda and beer. Be sure to have trash receptacles nearby, and use throw away eating utensils and paper plates to keep clean up to a minimum.
For an added activity, set up a betting booth. Guests can bet on winners, places in the race, accidents, etc. and the winner takes the purse. Another fun activity is to get unassembled model cars. Have the guests divide up into teams. The first team finished assembling their car wins a prize. Your Daytona 500 Party is sure to be a success for any nascar fan.
