The Toyota dangler seat to let fans get closer to the racing, and it slams him into the fence.
Why would Toyota show themselves building something that has probably caused serious injury to the fan. Makes me worried about driving their cars if they can't even sort out a fairground ride.
I know it's supposed to be funny, but this is an engineering company showing they can't engineer a simple curve in an elementary chair ride.
Baffling :confused:

Now the piggy-back pit stop was much better - it shows the pit lads are willing to go the extra mile to help the fan get close. Without possibly killing them.

everyother is just a reminder of what a joke Nascar is

Much of the dangerous scenes are filmed on a Hollywood sound stage with stuntmen and chromakeys. The chromakey makes it look like the fan is watching the cars from behind, but really the stuntman is on a chair and rope on a chromakey. When the person is whisked into the wall, the person is just moving a different way on the blue screen, and a camera is intentionally aimed to "move" simulating a wall hit. He isn't slammed at all.

Those pathetic artists are pathetic. I like the local cable company ads with Jimmie Johnson; Jimmie is using a satellite dish as a food plate, a chipping target, and other uses.

I thought someone said it was Loren, not warren, but anyway, those are still the best :laugh:

I think they wanted to emphasize that this was in it's development stages.

Nope that's the name on his birth certificate. DW always calls him Russell. (Have no idea if he's in any way named for the other William Wallace.)

He's sounds more like a highlander than Gibson does, being he's from Scotland. ;)

Closed Captioning always reads "Lauren Wallace".I turned on my CC because this has been bugging me for months. Is it Warren or Loren? Haven't seen the commercial since, but I'm not confident that it will prove anything when they can't spell names right. Jeff Gordan, Kurt Bush and Robbie Wiser is what I've seen so far. :laugh:

I'm pretty sure that it's Warren Wallace. And yeah, those are some of the funniest commercials on TV right now (IMO). The other one I liked was the one for Speed with Elliott Sadler & Rutledge Wood. The one where he breaks into Elliot's house, wakes him up, hands him his bunny back and asks if he has a waffle maker. "A waffle maker?!!!" That one always gets me.

That's the one. It's one of the most realistic NASCAR commercials made IMHO.

By golly, you are right!

Lauren Wallace is the third cousin (once removed) of Rusty and Mike Wallace.
