Earnhardt describes the bar as “a bit of Southern gentleman and a little bit of Carolina country.”
I have no idea what that means but it sounds fun.
I just have one question – can I get a Malibu and Diet Coke for $3.50 or a vodka/cranberry for $2? If not, I am not interested.
More importantly, is there a cover charge? I am a firm believer that there should never be a cover charge unless there is live music.
Well, I don’t know how much the drinks cost but there is a mechanical bull and, from the pictures I have seen of the bar, it looks pretty cool.
There’s also a lot of orange, Earnhardt’s favorite color. It sounds like a place Tony Stewart will like.
Earnhardt said one of the reasons he wanted to open the bar was to have things other than racing to fall back on.
“I would like to think that I could just race that car and at 50 I could quit and be all right, but I don’t trust that,” he said. “I don’t know what the dollar is going to be worth when I’m 50.”
OK, now I know that the dollar is barely worth more than the paper it’s printed on these days but I think it’d have to lose a whole lot more value for Earnhardt to be in money trouble.
And if it does fall that far, what about those of us who aren’t multi-millionaires?
