One of the popular eats at Sebring is some good, old pepperoni pizza.

A Twelve Hour race requires lots of things, but spectators, media, teams,drivers, and sponsors all need food at some point.  We decided to find out what is on the menu here at Sebring. The concession stands offer the traditional burgers, hot dogs, Italian sausages, corn dogs, funnel cakes, and ice cream. The Snack Shack also offers a BBQ pork plate or fried shrimp and lots of sweet tea.

Pizzas fly out of the big portable ovens at Rudy’s East Coast pizza tent where Pepperoni is holding a slight lead over sausage, with cheese pizza orders running a distant third. 

For the teams, it’s a bit of a mix. Many rely on Marion’s and Vanessa’s, the two special catering companies that cover the entire circuit, each with multiple team and sponsor clients. Since the crews can’t leave the pits en masse during the race, Marion is providing bow tie pasta with marinara sauce, chicken tenders with BBQ sauce, Caesar salads and her famous “TDF” (to die for) brownies. Vanessa counters with Reuben sandwiches,bratwurst, and burgers, ready for team members to deliver to the pit lane.  The Alex Job Racing Porsche GT-C team is having a Mexican fiesta ,courtesy of their sponsor Mission Foods. Lots of fresh chips, salsa, tacos, and tortillas. 

The Aston Martin team is enjoying the pina colada chicken, stir fried vegetables, BBQ pork, brown rice, and Caesar salad from Marion’s, while the drivers rely on pasta, lots of water and vitamin drinks. Meanwhile, the Dyson Racing Mazda team hits the beef tenderloin, stuffed sole, herb crusted chicken and asparagus at Vanessa’s.

Meanwhile, up in the pit lane suites, the platters of barbequed chicken and ribs from  lunch are giving way to way to beef tenderloin, carved roast turkey, artichoke pasta, salads, fresh green beans, carrots, garlic mashed potatoes and dense Chambord chocolate cake.

Enjoy your dinner.

Some guests have the privilege of devouring a delicious, delectable and devilish piece of chocolate cake.
