In the spirit of NASCAR tailgating, chefs Mario Batali and Rachael Ray have combined forces for a grilling contest where the grand prize winner and a guest will enjoy a VIP weekend at Texas Motor Speedway alongside Batali and Ray. The winner will tailgate with the chefs prior to the Dickies 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on November 2.

-----------------

And they will get to eat chicken strips/nuggets cooked in olive oil and arugla salad, with orange slices, walnuts and brie cheese.

They will probably cook some gawdawful food that had nothing to do with Texas or Dickies. I get the fat white guy with a pony tail at a NASCAR race but why do they really need her?

I can see her at the start/finish line asking where the racers go when they see the green flag...
