Danielle here. For me, this weekend’s all about hockey. Carolina and Clemson fans will be excited to hear their club hockey teams are hitting the rink at Bon Secours Wellness Arena for “The Palmetto Bowl on Ice.” You can get in with your ticket to Saturday’s Swamp Rabbits game, which happens to also be NASCAR Night, featuring a pregame party sponsored by Busch Light. Hop in the e-simulator for a chance to drive like a pro, or say hello to one of the drivers as they meet fans. 🏒
