Scantily dressed ladies…check. PBR…check. Kevin “F-in” Fowler…check. Truck-load of Spam…check. What else could you possibly need to organize (and I use that term loosely) a Redneck Games? Oh yeah…how about the Girls Gone Wild crew filming Mudd Chicks Gone Wild? No joke.

The 2007 Redneck Games were held this weekend just North of Athens…Texas…at the Pool Ranch ATV Park. The gatherin’ of ’bout 7,000 folks competed in a var-ah-tee of avents:

• Mudpit Belly Buster. (pictured above) This event will be held at the stage and you will be required to stand on the edge of the mudpit, hold your arms straight out, and fall forward into the mudpit to give it your best belly bust. You will be allowed to wear goggles and earplugs. Judging of this event will be based on the crowd’s applause by using a sound level meter. Maximum entries: 10 contestants (men or women)
• Butt Crack Contest. The uglier your butt-crack, the better chance you have of winning. This is not a mooning event and we will only allow low hanging pants to be worn. The contestants will be divided into men and women. Judging of this event will be based on the crowd’s applause by using a sound level meter. Maximum entries: 10 contestants for men and 10 contestants for women.
• Best Redneck Vehicle. Everybody has seen these pickups or cars running around town before, so if you own one or would like to create one, bring it on out and enter it in the contest. Unlimited entries for this event. You must take this vehicle with you when you leave!!!!
• Daisy Duke Show-Off. This event will be for WOMEN only. Cut-off blue jeans are the only daisy dukes that will be allowed. Maximum entries: UNLIMITED

There were 10 events in all. And you know it can’t be good when they have to specify “women-only” for the Daisy Dukes contest.

The first of the redneck games began in 1996 in East Dublin, Georgia. The Summer Redneck Games began as a joke response to the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996. Ever since, a few copycat events have popped up, but none has garnered the attention that the 2007 Redneck Games has…and unfortunately it isn’t positive.

According to an article from the Associated Press, the event ended “…with more than 50 arrests and citations. Henderson County sheriff’s authorities are considering charges against the show’s organizer. Oscar Still of Kilgore could face a misdemeanor charge for not having a permit.”
