Inaugural Jeep Beach BBQ Showdown

Signup to compete in the Inaugural Jeep Beach BBQ Showdown April 28th - 29th, 2023. Teams will set up in the Driver's / Owner's Lot camping spots in the middle of Daytona International Speedway. There will be over 70,000 spectators walking by during the two-day event.

The $300 entry fee includes a camping spot with hookups, Jealous Devil lump charcoal, and all meats provided by Bull and Boar Barbecue Shop.

This event is a FUN COOK and not a sanctioned event. Therefore, standard BBQ competition rules will not always apply. This year's event aims to raise money for the Jeep Beach charities not to qualify for Memphis in May!

There will be a $5,000 prize fund for the BBQ Showdown event on Saturday. No team will walk away empty-handed, even if not placed in the money spots. 

If you are attending Jeep Beach and want to compete, but can't bring a smoker, please contact us.

Please email info@bullandboarbbq.com if you have any questions in the meantime.
