NASCAR Ads Come to Town

(Filed under: Business)

The Daytona 500 and 2006 NASCAR season starts tomorrow. And thus come the NASCAR ads. And there are loads of new ads for the 2006 season, including Dale Jarret finally racing the truck (supposedly UPS tricked out an actual truck that can do 150 mph) and Mark Martin getting a stunt double to do some Carl Edwards-style backflips.

Now I'm not a huge sports watching guy, but it seems like NASCAR is one of the few sports, or TV shows period, where practically every commercial is completely related to what they're advertising. NASCAR drivers show up in every other ad, generic cars driving around if the advertiser isn't actually a real sponsor, and we can count to see who shows up in more ads, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., or the Waltrip brothers.
