NASCAR Fans Get Heated (Literally) as Nashville Race Bans Coolers

One fan wrote: "Don't know specifically about Tennessee law but in many states you can't bring your own alcohol because if you get excessively intoxicated that's a legal problem for the track. If you have to go to a vendor for a beer than they can deny you if you're too drunk, like at a bar."
Another fan wrote: "I'll stick to the cooler argument forever. Tracks may have brought on the cooler ban as a non-contact point which made since when COVID restrictions were heavy, but packing 40k people in a track and still following that is strictly a marketing scheme."
One Twitter user stated: We will be there at Nashville. I get no outside alcohol. But coolers? I can't take my backpack with a built in cooler but I can take a clear backpack and pack it will ice packs. WTF already. Going to be hot. I don't hydrate with$4 bottles of Aquafina."
"Looks like Nashville won't allow coolers in the track (reason: idk) and they promised they would allow it before but they didn't," one fan stated.
Here's a solution. One fan revealed: "Seen alot of anger about no coolers being allowed at Nashville. It was like that at the 600. We just got a clear backpack and threw ice and beer in it. Problem solved."
One fan wrote: "The Cooler/Beverage Policy in Nashville this weekend is unfortunate. It doesn't need to be that way. The Indy 500 had 3x as many people & still allowed coolers & any drinks. The track was flawless in how the executed entry with coolers and everyone was happy."
"I'm still waiting on the NASCAR media to talk about Nashville speedway banning coolers and ice for this weekends races," a fan wrote. "Time to stand up for the people."
