Does anyone have any cute, not tacky, ideas for a Nascar Racing Wedding Reception?
I am having a Fall wedding but wanted to have a FUN, not tacky, racing reception with bits and pieces of nascar/racing all around. Any ideas? Looking for any pictures for centerpieces, favors, etc-as well as games during the reception in lieu of the duck dance and ymca

Well, it's not going to be the easiest thing to do but it's still possible.
My ideas:
1. Stick to a red, white, black decorating scheme.
2. For the cake, again go with black and white. Checkered flag style edging will get the point across but still look nice. On the top you could have one of those "bride drags groom away" toppers with a little nascar vehicle next to it so it looks like you're dragging him away from the races.
3. Have a cute motto like "racing into love" and use that on your favors. Just a cute little red bag with
4. Maybe instead of tossing the boquet you could have the women race towards it instead. Or use that idea for the garter toss. Before the race the DJ could get into it with, "women (or men), start your engines."
The whole point to making this look good is to borrow things from Nascar that are subtle. If you don't go overboard it can look very cute, if you go nuts with it then it's going to look more than tacky.
EDIT:
found this cake topper:

(to be honest I would get rid of the flags behind them, that's too much)

just switch out the middle plate with a white and black checkered one
