Point well taken, Joe, but I think they were trying to come up with a parallel kind of commercial to be a companion to Michael Waltrip's autograph commercial, or the one where he was reading fan mail--neither one had much to do with racing, but by kind of making fun of himself, I think it builds a drivers image with his fans. Maybe they need to consider doing both kinds of commercials??

Re: Beckman's Valvoline Commercial

I wonder where this commercial ranks with all the current Funny Car commercials being shown Oh there aren't that many? What? Great job and kudos to the NAPA folks!!!!!! Looking forward to the rest.

Anyone who has the change to put Fast Jack in a commercial and doesn't is just plain dumb and I don't think the folks at Valvoline are just plain dumb.

Re: Beckman's Valvoline Commercial

thats cool.. glad the didn't throw away all the footage the filmed here when they did it...lol

If you look real close at the end of the comercial.. you can see the ROCKS concrete stands on one side and the Tower in the background...lol.. never noticed they covered the Rockingham logo on the wall with the checkered flag deal at the time.... too busy watching the car and the camera guys i guess...lol..
