NASCAR, aside from the Fox network promotions, was poorly represented in Sunday night’s Super Bowl commercials.
I TiVo’d the game tonight so I could replay the commercials. Am I blind, or did I miss Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his Amp commercial shot in the desert?
I saw Carl Edwards twice; a flash of Edwards’ blonde hair in the Under Armour spot and the lame PSA fashioned Claritin advertisement.
However, no Jr. I did look online and turns out I didn’t miss much. The commercial wasn’t even worthy of a courtesy laugh and I still have no desire to drink AMP!
Surely, the D500 commercials will be better.
That said, Go Manning Jr.!

good
commercials, the one with the baby spitting up had me in stiches, I liked the commercial of the Daytona 500, where it looks like they are inside the engine, BUT I MISSED THE FEDEX COMMERCIAL!!!!!!Was Denny in it? the Carl Edwards one I saw was lame. you know both teams NY and NE are sore today, they all took a lot of hard hits, whooo great game, but not as good as watching a race.

Most of
the commercials I saw were staid and boring. Altho I’ve got to hand it to my peeps – the FedEx commercial had me in stitches!

The AMP Commercial aired...
in that 12 hour pre-game show a couple of times. It was okay, I thought it was funny that Junior was carrying his Camel and offered it a breath mint. I agree though that I will not drink any of those energy drinks. I think they are all just a fad that our children drink way too many of!! I laughed at the commercial though. Come on Daytona!!!

Each company
has to pay out mega bucks for a spot in the famous Super Bowl commercials. In my opinion, the Daytona 500 has commercials like the Super Bowl, ones you see only a couple of times but are worth it. I think if any commercials that we didn’t see in the Super Bowl with our favorite drivers, we’ll definitely see more entertaining ones at the 500!

Edwards??
Like he was on the screen for like 2 seconds! He deserved more air time then that. And what about Jimmie? Being he took the Nextel cup two years in a row, he should of had some type of commerical from Lowes!
