I wonder if Force was forced to make the commercial as some sort of
community-service thing:

"John Force left National Trail Raceway Saturday night searching for a
faster way to get his Funny Car down the quarter-mile dragstrip.

Apparently, he was still experimenting yesterday morning while driving
to the elimination rounds of the NHRA Pontiac Excitement
Nationals. Force was pulled over for speeding."

Boy, I just finally saw that ad on TV today. How unbelievably stupid.
