The Best Commercial Ever
So the rain canceled the Martinsville race where our first TV spot was supposed to air, but check out the spot above ... pretty NOSome if I say so myself. The commercial will air on the rebroadcast on Monday along with other select Sprint Cup races throughout the year.

For those who know NOS Energy Drink and the people behind it, you guys know that we’re passionate about motorsports. Like really passionate, borderline obsessive, about motorsports. And if we like all things with motors, then we’re punch drunk, head over heels about drifting.
