June 28, 2006

NEW YORK, NY – The sweet smell of hickory combined with sounds of revving engines, juicy smoked ribs on the grill and colorful shrines to celebrity drivers all mean one thing…it’s time to tailgate, NASCAR style! This summer, Lifetime Products, Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of folding tables — a must-have for great tailgating set-ups — will name “America’s Ultimate Tailgater” at The Tailgate of a Lifetime 2006 Tailgating Championship.
