Tomorrow night is the Coke Zero 400 presented by Coca-Cola at Daytona International Speedway. Not like I needed to tell you that, right? But there are some cool things we need to talk about first.

So I’m curious, when you watch races each weekend, do you have any traditions, rituals, or must-have snacks? There was a period of time when I would go to McDonalds and buy hotcakes & sausage before the race started so I could have breakfast and watch the pre-race show.

There were times when I’d go to Starbucks and grab my Cinnamon Dolce Latte or I’d run out DURING the race to have one on hand. But the overall theme is that snacks are a must-have, whether it’s coffee or just chips. When I had a Sprint android phone I’d listen to Sprint Cup Mobile and tune into driver’s radios. Or when I had DirecTV I’d switch between the coverage from whatever channel was carrying the race that weekend and the in-car cameras for whatever drivers DirecTV was featuring that day.

So what do you guys do? Do you ever go to a bar and watch a race? Please leave your stories, ideas, traditions (no matter how big or small) in the comments section below!

This all leads me to tomorrow night. Whatever you’re doing & wherever you’re watching the race make sure to stay connected to Twitter and follow @CocaColaRacing because Danica Patrick, the newest member of the Coca-Cola team, will serve as their digital reporter for the Coke Zero 400. Send your questions to her @CokeZero and she’ll answer them on race day.

So be sure to join the conversation tomorrow and add @CocaColaRacing to your tweets while you watch the race!
