Remember how much mielage UPS got out of that tagline. Heck, I think they still use it.

BV will have arrived when UPS does some marketing/adverstising with the rail.

I think the success (for each) will come.
You tree'd me Jim.

Wouldn't that be a great ad?? "Race the truck Bob!!"

I saw one last weekend showing Dale racing the truck in a computer generated spot..comes in for a pit stop..and he's in the driver's seat just shaking his head. And I thought WOW..to fix the truck up to line up next to a T/F 'er..LOL. Endless storylines there.

Better again, line the fueller up against a FedEx or DHL truck and blow them away!

UPS is not the only guilty party.

When was the last time you saw a John Force Castrol commercial? You would think they would try to capitalize on umpteen championships and the biggest star in the drag racing galaxy, wouldn't you?

Kudos to Valvoline and Q for including drag racing in their recent national spots in heavy rotation.

I do like the idea of cross-promotion. I think Brandon Bernstein and Junior would make a fantastic Bud commercial, have Junior ask Brandon to borrow his ride for a few minutes and then cut to the Top Fueler coming off the banking at turn 4 at Daytona rocketing towards the start/finish line as the announcer in the background announces Junior is on pole with a new track record. It would have to be CGI of course, but it would still be cool.

I think there is huge potential with the UPS thing too with Dale Jarrett and Vandergriff. It would certainly be a way to maximise marketing value for all parties involved.

As a Traffic/Shipping Manager, I've got to tell you, UPS is Promoting the Car. They've sent out cute little flame stickers and all sorts of 'neat' copy. And yeah, expect "next day Air" document envelopes like they did with Jarrett in NASCAR.
