at least the best commercial so far is the Napa commercial where Mikey
says..."Hey! I'm at the wrong track!"

What? You thought I'd blab the winner?
Before the race was even done???
Why to do that I'd have to be a Nascar Official....

were excellent. I am talking about the how bad you got the fever
commercials. Every damb one last year was great. One time he is mad the golf
cart won't go faster. another time the wife announces she is pregnant and
all he thinks about is racing through the streets at 100mph. Don't forget
the anniversary where all the seniors are sitting down to celebrate and he
uncorks the champagne like in the winner circle. Great stuff...
This year there was a different actors and I thought they were kind of
stupid.

The one where the guy is stopped for speeding and tries to bribe the cop to
write the ticket for 190mph. :-)
Did everyone miss that one?

Welcome to NBC racing coverage...at least they canceled the commerical that
was starting just as the "big one" started yesterday. That's better than NBC
of old. Forget about anything good in the pit coverage. We saw DEJ get some
work, and a couple shots of crowded yellow flag pits, but that was about it.
I think Fox does a better job of covering all the 'players' pit stops as
they happen, timing on all of them, pit reporters in the pits of the top 3
or 4 giving you details. I guess NBC thinks that we're just spectators that
don't understand how intregal pit stops and strategy are in the sport.
Yep. I love the great selling point Nascar made when this tv package came
about. "No longer will fans have to search and wonder what channel our
races will be on."
Before the package: ESPN, CBS, TNN, TNT
After package: FOX, NBC, FX, TNT
Just like when X industry says deregulation is good for the consumer,
raise the red flag when Nascar says something's good for the fan.

That one was definetly hilarious.
I saw the DEJ CD skipping and designated driver commercials last weekend at
the shootout, so while new, yesterday was not the first run.
The best tie-in was the Thorogood song "Brown to the bone" in conjunction
with the sticker on DJ's dash yesterday. I thought that was a pretty funny
deal too.
