good clean fun! lol, have you seen the commercial where the camera goes into the car with the driver, and all the cars were hitting eachother... it is going to be a BAD crash... like 10 cars spinning into each other... and when the camera is in the car, the driver says, "baseball is a DANGEROUS sport... lots of risk involved..." and it goes on and on like that... it was really funny... you seen it?

I have watched it, it is good. NASCAR does a very good job of keeping their customer (you) in touch with their product (racing) so you are ready and willing to watch the new season.
They understand the "out of sight out of mind” concept.
By that particular add running, even when racing is not going on you are talking about it. Great work on the part of NASCAR marketing people.

They also have numerous other cell phone competitors that are looking for market share. Winston was good to NASCAR for 30 years. Let's hope Nextel will 1/2 as succesfull (and they get those checks in the mail on time).

You know the first two or three weeks back at the shop had to be a riot.
It probably fostered some of the best one liners about that product ever,
ya know how car guys think.
