Last year was my first NASCAR race (Dover) and noobs that we were, we brought normal sized coolers which were promplty taken from us at the gate for being too large. We were left with 60+ beers in plastics bags that got warm real quick.
This year, I want to do it right, but the 14 x 14 x 14 cooler requirement seems crazy. I have a smallish Igloo and even that is 17 x 14 x 10, and that only holds about 40 cans with ice. We will need to bring in around 50+ cans after tailgating, for my buddies and I, and I just don't see how it can happen.
Are there any veterans out there that have some tips on the best cooler and/or method of getting it in? If all we can get ahold of is a really small cooler, would Dover allow us to return to the car to refill it mid-race?
