A popular tailgating lawn game, cornhole is played with teams of two people, two elevated boards with a hole in the far end, and bean bags. Players will take turns tossing the bean bag in the hole, and earn points for bean bags in the hole, as well as on the board.
The winning cornhole championship team will receive the winning treatment, consisting of ticket upgrades to the Champions Club. The winners will have the opportunity to view the Ford EcoBoost 400 eight stories above Turn 1, while enjoying all-inclusive food and open bar, reserved outdoor chair-back seating with armrests and cup holders, a Pre-Race Pit Pass, and access to the track for the post-race championship celebration. The final teams will also receive cornhole boards and additional tailgate items provided by Tailgate Giant.
“All of us here at TailgateGiant.com are very excited for this great partnership with Homestead-Miami Speedway in creating a new Fan Experience at the NASCAR Championships,” Tailgate Giant President and CEO John Mikulec said. “We hope for a successful event and to carry it on for years to come.”
