Daytona 500 teams up with U2
Daytona 500 has just released a commercial where the U2 song Bad is played to a montage of NASCAR fans, Petty, Earnhardt, Johnson,and Darrell Waltrip. The unexpected combination actually works, I mean watch it and tell me that you are not getting pumped about NASCAR. It even somehow made Waltrip’s ridiculous dancing seem cool. It seems like NASCAR will be branching out this year trying to get a larger target audience with some creative advertising. In fact there are rumors that Danica Patrick will be a guest on CSI Miami. If rumors hold true she will be in a car crash(of course) and will be wearing her racing gear. Wether advertising was the reasoning behind this or not, it will definately get some great publicity for NASCAR.
