Top 10 Reasons to Camp in the Infield at a Winston Cup Race. -----------------------------------------------------------

10: "When the race gets boring (like when Jeffie is leading) you can have your own victory barbeque." (Harold Unger/Fresno,Calif.)

9) "It's the closest most of us will ever get to reliving the days of the 'Snake Pit' at Indy." (Frank Sewald) 8: "The big ol' RV's provide better coverage for the "I installed my own faucet this weekend" banners." (Cameron McAra/Lynnwood, Wash.) 7: "You can get a 'head rush' just by sitting in a swivel chair." (Brad Beall/Tampa, Fla.) 6: "Now that he's finally retired,the infield is a great place to watch Dale Earnhardt placidly drive that tractor around. Yea ha...." (Jeff Mittelholtz/Oakdale, Minn.) 5: "Because you get realy good picture's of Rusty's car behind the wall while the race is going." (Tom Bednarz/Wilbraham, Mass.) 4: "If you're drunk and pass-out, the only person you fall on is your passed out buddy." (Rick Glover / Holiday, Fla.) 3: "Because you have a cooler half full of beer.......and you can't find your car anywhere." (Ronald Abblett/Canfield, Ohio) 2: "Because you can't see the race if you camp in the parking lot. (Tom Pettet/Saint Paul, Minn.) And this week's best?:

1: "Because they get really mad if you try to camp-out in the outfield at a baseball game." (Deb Drake/Quaker Hill, Conn.)
