Texas Motor Speedway BBQ Showdown returning for NASCAR race weekend
Yesterday at 11:08 AM
The Texas Motor Speedway BBQ Showdown returns with $5,000 in cash prizes up for grabs during the May 2-4 Würth 400 presented by Liqui Moly NASCAR tripleheader weekend.
Entrants will compete in three categories — one-half chicken, pork spare ribs and brisket — in this IBCA-sanctioned event that will award the top five places in each category.
Chef check-in will be Friday, May 2, with the judging taking place the following day. Turn-in times will be at Noon (chicken), 1:30 p.m. (ribs) and 3 p.m. (brisket). The judging location will be inside the white tent at the north entrance into the infield campground, directly across from the Turn 4 paddock on Allison Avenue near the North Tunnel.
The winners will be announced Sunday, May 4, on stage prior to the day‘s main course — the Würth 400 presented by Liqui Moly NASCAR Cup Series race.
The entry fee is $500 and includes the following:
- Two 20 x 40 infield spots (1 for RV and 1 for Smoker)
- Two weekend infield wristbands (does not include grandstand seating)
There will also be a separate winner-take-all brisket taco jackpot competition. Buy-in is an additional $20 and the winner will claim the full pot.
Participant camping spots will be located near the judging tent and Texas Motor Speedway camping guidelines can be found HERE.
