If you don't chew Big Red...

Apologies for the lack of post yesterday. Saturday had crazy written all over it. Anyways ... HAPPY DAYTONA 500! NASCAR, the sport that kicks off its season with the biggest event of year, commences today and I think we are both super stoked for it. In honor of the 50th running of the Daytona 500, we decided to pick 5 of our favorite NASCAR commercials and share them with you.

In random order...

Michael Waltrip may no longer be one of the strongest competitors in NASCAR, but he makes some of the funniest commercials. I couldn't find the one where he was teaching little kids about auto parts, so this one will just have to do.




The Gillette Young Guns are made up of most of my favorite drivers. If you didn't see the show where they taught D-list celebrities how to drive racecars, than you really missed out. I was stoked when Kasey was added as a Young Gun last year, and this was his highly anticipated debut.

I can't embed it (crazy YouTube bitches) but just click away and enjoy.

My only issue with our next submission is the appearance of Jeff Gordon, but Elliot Sadler's redneck adorableness almost makes up for it. Rabbit Release.



Since moving to Virginia, I have a tendency to only frequent Sunoco gas stations. I mean, its the official fuel of NASCAR and I like to show my support whereever I can. Plus, I like to go fast so I feel like using the same fuel as them kinda equates me with the drivers. The commercials for Sunoco are some of the best, but I think it's quite apparent why I enjoy this particular one so much.



There is no disputing (at least in our opinion) that this was the best commercial (included non-NASCAR ones) in the year 2007. I will let it do the talking.



Boogity, boogity, boogity ... let's go racing.

Vegas Countdown: 10 days!
