EARNHARDT OUTDOORS SHOWDOWN 2023
The Earnhardt Outdoors Showdown, hosted by Kerry Earnhardt, in collaboration with Old Armor Beer Company, was an absolute blast from start to finish! This event was the talk of the town, blending high-speed thrills with community spirit in a way only they could.
At the heart of the festivities was a thrilling Legend Car’s race that had everyone on the edge of their seats. But before the main event, attendees were treated to a wildly entertaining sofa race. Yes, you heard that right—a sofa race! Three teams went head-to-head, each with their own hilariously designed sofa creations. It was a sight to behold and provided loads of laughs and cheers from the crowd.
Following the sofa antics, the Legend Cars race took center stage with drivers Noah Gragson, Sean Hingorani, Austin Hill, Stefan Parsons, Daniel Suarez, Joel Smith, Jadyn Daniels, Emily Arenas, Nathan Lyons, Alex McCollum, Lanie Buice, Graham Smith, Josh Speas, and Lucas Vera, all battling it out for supremacy. The competition was fierce, but in the end, Lucas Vera emerged as the overall champion of the showdown, showcasing exceptional skill and determination on the track.
But it wasn’t just about the races. The event was jam-packed with delicious food, engaging activities, and plenty of fun for everyone to dive into. It truly was a day where memories were made and community spirit shone brightly.
Earnhardt Outdoors extends a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to support the event—the drivers, the sponsors, and all the attendees. Your enthusiasm and participation made the Earnhardt Outdoors Showdown a rousing success. Here’s to good fun, great racing, and the wonderful community that made it all possible. Can’t wait to see you all at the next one!
