They must be having a race in Charlotte this week or something. The local Charlotte tv stations are gobbling up all the usual bigger and better CMS news releases. After perusing the offerings on the new Speedway menus, I will definitely vote for the Funnel Bacakonator over the Danica Fit Fuel Menu. I'lltake the Mac n Cheese Pimento burger over the Danica fare, also. Excuse me while I go grab a bite.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Charlotte Motor Speedway has teamed up with Levy Restaurants to unveil a new menu of unique items that will be served at concession stands during the Bank of America 500 race week, including the "Funnel Bacakonator."
The Funnel Bacakonator consists of a funnel cake that is covered in bacon pieces and drizzled with chocolate and strawberry sauces.

Although the calorie count for the Funnel Bacakonator is not yet known, speedway officials are touting it as a calorie saver. "The Bacakonator is great for people on diets. After you eat one, your calorie count will carry you for a couple of weeks and you dont have to eat anything else," said Vice President of Communications for Charlotte Motor Speedway Scott Cooper.
Enjoying fun and unique foods is a big part of the racing experience, said Marcus Smith, president and general manager of Charlotte Motor Speedway. We always want to push the envelope when it comes to our concessions and offer our fans something they can only enjoy in Charlotte. Ive personally tried the Funnel Bacakonator and it is awesome. I cant wait for our fans to try these new items and see what they think!
Fans attending the race can also try the new Flame and Fuel menu with a one-of-a-kind burger offerings like the Charlotte Pimento Mac-n-Cheese Burger, with Angus beef, pimento mac and cheese and crumbled pork rinds.

Danica Patrick's Fit Fuel menu will also make its debut this weekend featuring lighter fare and vegetarian items recommended by Patrick.
The Danica Patrick Fit Fuel menu includes a turkey burger, veggie burger, a grilled chicken sandwich, a veggie chopped salad, fruit and veggie cups, trail mix, baked potato chips and Clif and Luna Bars.
Among the new menu items, the speedway is offering gluten-free snacks to race fans.
