CINCINNATI-( Business Wire )-

After a season of visiting stadiums across the U.S. and sifting through tailgate entries on www.TailgateFan.com/contest, Larry the Cable Guy and Prilosec OTC have chosen three parking lot pros as “A Better Way to Tailgate” challenge winners and are celebrating their victories in Indianapolis at Super Bowl XLVI.

Rick Wenger, Earl Radonski and Tara Schwenker earned their titles by entering their infamous pigskin parties on TailgateFan.com. They were chosen from a large pool of fierce competitors, all demonstrating that the best tailgates start with heart – and hopefully end without heartburn. All entries included photos showcasing their incredibly creative tailgate set-ups, mouth-watering food spreads and extreme team spirit. Folks also submitted a recipe to accompany their “food spread” entry.

These football fanatics each won the ultimate Prilosec OTC tailgating prize pack, including the chance to showcase their amazing tailgates in Indianapolis, fantastic tailgating gear and two (2) tickets to Super Bowl XLVI!

“These top three showed that they can go beyond wimpy cans of onion dip and frilly toothpicks,” said Larry the Cable Guy. “After drooling over their food and checking out their set ups, Prilosec OTC and I knew that they had prevailed over the others in our football fiesta face-off.”

At each tour stop, fans were also able to meet Larry the Cable Guy, who knows a thing or two about tailgating himself. Larry offered tips and shared his own bits of wisdom on what it takes to make a great tailgate.
