The race is on! To keep us energized throughout the full 500 miles, here’s some of what we’ve prepared…
Every year, we cut out the 33 drivers in the final lineup and glue them to toothpicks. We usually stick them in plain circuit peanuts, but this year we used them for a platter of ham, cream cheese & Sechler hot pickles rolls plus cheddar cubes. Once drivers are eliminated or lose any competitive advantage, we get to eat. Oooh. There goes Rookie Jamie Camara into the wall. Hand me a ham roll.
Future Farmboy claimed the Danica racer toothpick for his lunch plate:
Circus peanut are a longtime iFarmer family tradition. His grandmother had them set out for every race. I put a little Virtual Farmgirl spin on them this year, adding M&M wheels and gummy bear drivers.
These chocolate, pretzel race cars are mostly for Future Farmboy’s birthday party next weekend. But I made an extra batch for race fans today:
