Carl Edwards: Aflac In one of several spots that Carl has done for Aflac, he is winning a race, but he has an advantage: namely, the Aflac duck, whose feathers fly out of Carl's car and into the windshields of the other drivers. Naturally, he wins the race, but when the duck tries to perform Carl's signature back flip, he gets injured. This prompts Carl to say "I taught him that!" This commercial is hilarious, pure and simple, poking fun at so-called cheating methods as well as Carl's back flip. Who would have thought a duck could be so useful to win a race?

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Budweiser Before Budweiser decided to sponsor Kasey Kahne, Dale starred in an ad in which his car was pursued by mutant desert people a la Mad Max. Finally, he got out of his car and told them that, just because the Bud logo was on his car, it did not mean that he actually had it in his car. His pursuers promptly apologized, and Dale bade the "crazy mutant desert guys" farewell. A nice parody of the Mad Max films, and I always get a kick out of how Dale explains how he did not have Bud in his car.

Ensemble: Gillette One morning, several drivers wake up to realize that someone has used a razor to shave off some of their hair. At first, they accuse Ryan Newman (as he had done so in an earlier ad), but it was actually Kasey Kahne and the Gillette Phantom that were responsible. Poor Kasey got his just desserts, as his hair was shaved to make him look like a circus clown. Another funny ad, and those like me who love Kasey are bound to get a kick out of it.
4
Ensemble: Toyota The venerable car company uses a series of "DriverSeeker" robots to search for drivers so that a kid could get their autographs. What follows is sheer hilarity as drivers such as Michael Waltrip, Denny Hamlin, and Kyle Busch are victimized by these machines. Michael even goes as far as to use an extinguisher on one robot, but in the end, some of their belongings, and even Kyle himself, were taken to the young boy. This commercial is laugh-out-loud funny, and it is fun to see the drivers trying to resist, only to lose out by the time it is all over.
5
Kasey Kahne: Allstate Kasey did some amusing ads for Allstate in which he was pursued by a trio of women who had a crush on him. In one particularly memorable ad, they received a check for safe driving, and one of them envisioned sponsoring Kasey's car by having him do some hot dance routines to the song "Rock You Like a Hurricane." For Kasey fans, it is great to see him strut his stuff, and it makes me wish that these commercials would continue into the current season. I would do anything to see some new ads with Kasey and the girls.
6
Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Amp First Dale was pursued by some desert folks, and in this ad, he keeps getting pummeled by a gorilla. Everywhere he goes, the gorilla tackles him, whether it's at the grocery store or in the shower. Incredibly, having taken Amp, Dale manages to take the punishment like he does when he handles the race tracks every week. It's quite humorous, and let's face it, who doesn't like a good commercial with animals?
7
Carl Edwards: Subway This commercial "explains" the origins of Carl's back flip. His instructor tries to help him come up with some sort of victory dance, like the hot potato and the worm. It is only when they eat Subway sandwiches that the instructor does the back flip, and it sticks, as Carl has done it whenever he wins a race. It can be fun for a driver to poke fun at himself, and Carl does it quite well here.

Jamie McMurray and Kasey Kahne: Nextel/Sprint Jamie thinks his Nextel phone is magic, as he uses it to get things done fast. Kasey, however, proves real magic by pulling a rabbit out of his helmet. Dismissing it as sleight-of-hand, Jamie speaks into the phone and orders his crew to get him a rabbit. They take the bunny from Kasey's hands in a flash, and Jamie tells him, "That's magic." One of my favorite ads with Kasey, as he is amusing here along with Jamie, and his sad expression when his bunny is snatched from him...priceless.

Jimmie Johnson: Lowes The NASCAR champ proves to be quite a workaholic in these ads. In one instance, Jimmie uses Kobalt tools to work on any project that he sees. At one point, he is even down in the sewers, where he tells some surprised people that he is in the process of pipe fitting. It is funny to see the others questioning Jimmie's knack for working without taking a break, and shouldn't we have more people in the world who are willing to help out as much as possible?
