The Daytona 500 is known as "The Great American Race." For NASCAR sponsors, the start of a new season has become a great American marketing event. And for NASCAR drivers, it's the venue for showcasing their "off-road" skills to promote their sponsors in new commercials.

Nearly 20 NASCAR drivers will star in new during the broadcast of the Daytona 500 (1:30 p.m. ET on NBC). From Tony Stewart explaining how Home Depot-inspired home renovations led to the 2005 Championship, to Michael Waltrip getting an unexpected Domino's Pizza delivery, to Carl Edwards introducing the new Ford Fusion into the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, the stars of NASCAR will keep fans tuned to the Great American Race during commercial breaks.
