Remember the Jeff Gordon Pepsi commercial?

[Specracer]

Where he "goes to a dealer" and takes a hot test drive? Well jalopnik slammed Jeff / Pepsi that it was fake, and made a point of it. Well pay back can be really funny.....

Well done! Of course, that could have gone horribly wrong if Travis was from Florida instead of New Jersey.

I guess that is, or is going to be, another Pepsi commercial?

Nice!

Awesome!!

Priceless stuff. "I just got done with a ten year hitch, and I cant go back." Just what you want your cabbie to say as he sees a cop in the rear view mirror.

I guess it is the lawyer in me, but still looks like a set up.

^^^ I agree, except for one thing. The journalist who was set up swears he was not in on it. He would lose all cred if he was outed. That would essentially end his career.

Again, the lawyer in me . The guy could have a cardiac . The guy could try to jump out . All sorts of bad things could make it a liability nightmare . Also, even though cameras. are tiny these days there are a lot of cameras . Lastly, it is clearly a Pepsi promotion and he recovers mighty quickly.

Bear in mind Gordon is used to fiction-- he drives in NASCAR where they finally got Jr to win a freakin 500 after several second place finishes. No easier race to fix.
