In the midst of rubber being beaten and wheels being changed at a furious pace, who in their right mind thinks, “Gee, seems like an ideal spot for a wedding!” Yet at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, this was made a reality on Sunday during the breathtaking South Point 400. A couple exchanged vows at the pit stop amidst the race-induced pandemonium. This beats saying ‘I do’ in a quaint little church, right?
Now, let’s play with an idea here. If weddings can occur in a pit-stop, could the reverse be true? Picture this; amidst the tire changes and refueling, an unhappy couple gets a swift divorce. It brings a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘speedy settlement,’ doesn’t it?
On a more advertiser-centric note, our stats team had quite a day, counting 120 commercials aired during the 198-minute broadcast. They’ve put together a fascinating breakdown of this ad bonanza. Toyota, Coca-Cola, and Sonic made the most appearances, each showing up six times! Other notable contributors to the commercial chaos included WPXI, Verizon, Auto-Owners Insurance, Northern Tool, and Ashley Furniture.
Keeping your eyes on the race while trying to digest the commercials? That’s the skill of a true NASCAR fan. These bite-sized breaks offered everything from meal deals to insurance; a mixed bag if there ever was one!
